Quebec already has near 100% renewable energy production, so provincial incentives are minimal.

Hydro-Quebec’s Electricity Exports Halted Amid US Tariffs - Cozzy Energy Solutions Hydro-Quebec's Electricity Exports Halted Amid US Tariffs A significant disruption has occurred in the energy supply chain between Quebec and New England, as Hydro-Quebec stopped exporting electricity into the wholesale market of ISO New England. According to data from grid overseer ISO New England, no electricity has flowed on the main transmission line between the two regions since last Thursday, with a few exceptions. Executive Serge Abergel attributes this halt in exports to weather issues rather than politics or international trade tensions. As chief operating officer for Hydro-Quebec's US operations, Abergel explains that the company is adopting a price-driven strategy, taking advantage of lower prices brought about by warmer weather. This decision not only affects Hydro-Quebec but also has implications for New England's energy market. The halt in exports comes at a sensitive time, as the Trump administration has imposed tariffs on Canadian imports, sparking a trade war with Canada. The uncertainty surrounding these tariffs is particularly pertinent to hydroelectricity exports. ISO New England officials have sought clarification from US Customs and Border Protection and the US Treasury but have yet to receive definitive answers. Based on legal precedents, ISO New England officials do not believe the tariffs apply to electricity. The impact of this trade fight on electric bills remains uncertain. Hydro-Quebec has filed a cost-allocation proposal with federal energy regulators, should the situation change. For now, New England still enjoys a surplus of electricity, but the halt in exports highlights the complexities of international trade and energy markets.
