CITYnews halifax /By Dan Ahlstrand

Nova Scotia Utilities and Review Board(UARB) used the interrupter clause Wednesday morning to raise the price of diesel fuel across the province.

The regulator moved the diesel price up by 5.8 cents to a new minimum price of 192.9.

The UARB says it uses its interrupter mechanism to make changes in price due to significant shifts in the market prices

Gasoline prices were unaffected by the changes, remaining at 162.9

The UARB will adjust prices next Friday morning.
