(Fox 9) – from. Trade relations between the United States and Canada are deteriorating, and Minnesota is now one of the three states trapped in the middle.
New revenue of electricity
What do we know:
On Monday, Ontario’s premiere announced, immediately efficient, 25 % tax on electricity, Minnesota, New York and Michigan were sent to 1.5 million Americans.
In Minnesota, MN Commerce Department’s Deputy Commissioner for Energy Pet Wikov said that its impact would be almost non -non -existing, as Minnesota does not depend on Ontario for electricity.
“We do not expect that the move will lead to something that people will see now, or even in the long run, that people will feel … this will not be something that will force menstin to see more electricity bills,” Vikov said. “Ontario itself is the tip of the iceberg, and this is not a huge part of where we get our electricity.”
Electric Services is the company’s weight
What are they saying:
Minnesota Power denied an interview and instead sent Fox 9 a statement:
“Minnesota Power here produces most of its energy supply in northeastern MNs and domesticly. Our thermal, air, hydro, solar and biomass energy supply strengthens our ability to provide reliable services to our 150,000 consumers. We have not used a small amount of electricity from Ontario, 2024, for 2024, 2024, at 2024. I years
“We will expect that the effects of 25 % surcharge will be not equal to our customers based on a small amount of electricity imported from Ontario.”
