US-Canada Trade War Threatens Electricity Imports, Prices
By Robert Walton of UtilityDive
An escalating trade war between the United States and Canada is once again threatening to ensnare the electric power sector at a time when consumers are already stretched thin.
Canada is expected to announce retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods Tuesday after President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods went into effect over the weekend, with threats of more on the way.
On Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford told the Associated Press that “everything is on the table,” including halting the province's critical minerals and electricity exports entirely. The BBC reported Ford said he and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed a 25% tariff on electricity to the U.S.
In 2025, amid a previous trade dispute, Ontario enacted a 25% tariff on power exports to the U.S. The two sides eased tensions shortly thereafter, and the tariff was eliminated a day after taking effect.
