I live in Upstate NY where the local utility is NYSEG. Power from Ontario is part of the mix of sources (although NY also exports power to Canada depending on demand). Based on the article I am not understanding how the new Ontario tax will work. Ford says under current agreement the regional NY utility has to add a 25% surcharge. But NYSEG gets most of its power from US sources so why do we have to pay a 25% surcharge? And as we all know, utility bills consist of different charges other than the supply charge. I can believe that NYSEG would have to collect a 25% tax on Ontario power going to the US but not against the entire bill. Does any other Redditor know how this works?

I understand there’s a lot of trump flags and Trump supporters upstate. So maybe it’s a good thing they got what they voted for.

States are just going to switch to domestic supply at a slightly higher cost then before this started. If you watch the realtime data it looks to be already happening, will have to wait for more data or an official press release from the operators to be sure.
