Ongoing US-Canada trade tensions, including 50% US tariffs on roughly $20 billion in Canadian goods after negotiations collapsed in late August 2026, have prompted Ontario Premier Doug Ford to threaten electricity export restrictions or surcharges as leverage. However, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s federal government has prioritized targeted retaliatory tariffs effective in September, while premiers in provinces such as New Brunswick have explicitly ruled out cutoffs. Cross-border electricity flows, governed by longstanding grid agreements and mutual dependence, remain operational, with operators noting primarily financial rather than reliability impacts from any potential changes. A similar 2025 surcharge threat was rescinded within days amid talks. With months remaining until the December 31, 2026 deadline and active diplomatic channels, trader consensus assigns low probability to any official federal or provincial action to cut off or throttle exports.

Reductions or curtailments attributable to water or supply conditions, grid reliability, maintenance, commercial or contractual factors, or other ordinary-course operational decisions will not qualify.
An announcement of a qualifying action will suffice for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether electricity exports are actually throttled or cut off, and regardless of whether the action is subsequently suspended or reversed.
A qualifying action must restrict the volume or flow of electricity exports. The imposition of surcharges, taxes, tariffs, or other price-based measures alone will not be sufficient to qualify.
Statements that Canada or a province may take, is considering taking, or will take such action only if a condition is met or unmet will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Canadian federal or provincial governments; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
