The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (NARB) invoked the interrupter clause on the price of diesel overnight.

That means diesel will now cost you $208.9 cents per litre, a price hike of $7.6 cents.

According to the provincial regulator, this change was necessary due to significant shifts in the market price for diesel oil.

The price of gasoline did not change overnight.
