British Columbia Premier David Eby says the province has no plan to follow Ontario and levy a 25 percent surcharge on electricity exports to the United States.
Eby says imposing such a fee “is not currently a priority,” with efforts focused on new legislation in coming days that would give the province the ability to impose fees on U.S. commercial trucks travelling to Alaska via B.C.
