The price of diesel will change at midnight and into Tuesday.

The Nova Scotia Energy Board said it will be invoking the interrupter clause.

According to the NSEB, this change is necessary due to significant shifts in the market price for diesel oil.

The board did not indicate if the new price would be higher or lower.

The price of gasoline will not be affected.
