Ontario has signed a contract to import 600 megawatts of electricity from New York state this winter to offset unspecified “facility maintenance,” according to the Independent Electricity System Operator. The deal comes just weeks after Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut off electricity exports to the U.S. as retaliation in the ongoing trade war.
