New Yorkers are facing potential increases in utility bills due to a tariff dispute initiated by President Trump against Canada. Ontario's Premier, Doug Ford, has enacted a 25% surcharge on energy exports to New York, among others. Despite this, the New York Independent System Operator has stated that New York imports only about 4% of its power from Ontario, suggesting the state's electricity grid can accommodate these changes. Officials, including Gov. Kathy Hochul and Sen. Chuck Schumer, are calling for deeper analysis of the tariffs' impacts on the state's energy economy.
New York's grid operator, the NYISO, claims that the state imports about 4% of its power from Ontario, asserting it has sufficient capacity to offset potential energy export cuts.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s imposition of a 25% surcharge on energy exports reflects escalating tensions over tariffs and energy trade between the two regions, particularly as Trump threatens further tariffs.
