Ontario’s leader said he will add a 25% export tax on electricity sent to New York and other states in retaliation for Trump’s tariffs. Ontario provides 2,500 of the 4,600 megawatts of capacity that New York draws upon from Canada, the NYISO reports.

Following President Trump’s delay on North American tariffs, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 25% tariff on electricity exports to New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. While New York sources about 5% of its electricity from Canada, experts say immediate price hikes are unlikely.

As Ontario Premier Doug Ford plans on a 25% tariff on electricity exports, one state lawmaker says power supply will not be affected. However, bill rates can be spared from raises if the state does something about where it gets power.

Power disruptions could follow in Michigan and beyond if Ontario, Canada follows through on halting electricity exports amid the trade war.

The leader said new tariffs are scheduled to be implemented Monday in an effort to push back on Trump’s international economic measures.

Starting Monday, electricity prices in three U.S. states will jump by 25% due to a new tariff imposed by Ontario. This move is a response to tariffs set by the United States, making it more expensive for Michigan,
