people of canada. I am with you with boycotting and avoiding america things but seriously. Minnesota, Michigan and New York??? I mean do you send electricity to north dekota, montana, iowa or anything?
Xcel (MN) makes a lot of money being situated on the border. They are paid for every megawatt that traverses through its lines to states that don’t share a border.
The three states affected are basically the states that border Ontario. If North Dakota imports electricity, it will come from Manitoba not Ontario.

Presumably the whole network will feel the pinch, because cities paying the tariff directly will try to by from neighbouring grids.
yeah the messaging is just aweful though. Unfortunately most of the states that border canada are more liberal.
