Madawaska Valley’s mayor, Kim Love, says she’s surprised by the opportunity the long-term energy meeting provided her.

She says the meeting’s involved about a half hour presentation and then an hour-and-a-half of consultation with ministry staff.\

Municipal leaders were able to sit face-to-face with policy makers on energy conservation and efficiency, delivery, pricing and supply.

Love says explaining the challenges rural municipalities face in the form of delivery charges is a major issue.

Love says she’s in opposition of the province’s strides towards electric heat with hydro prices set to rise again in the new-year.
