We’ve been reporting on Radio Catskill how customers have been impacted by their high NYSEG electricity bills this winter. This past Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that Canada would add a 25% tariff on the electricity they supply to New York, Minnesota, and Michigan but then quickly pivoted – they agreed to delay the surcharges that same day.
So what exactly do these new tariffs mean for New Yorkers and why are customers seeing these NYSEG bill increases? Radio Catskill reporter Kimberly Izar spoke to Laurie Wheelock, Executive Director of the Public Utility Law Project in Albany, to help us unpack what New Yorkers need to know about their bills.
Note that this interview was recorded on Tuesday and since then, Canada has delayed energy tariffs.
