MAINE PUBLIC • February 4, 2025
President Trump’s looming tariffs on Canadian energy resources could hit Maine homes and businesses but officials say the impacts are still uncertain. Maine relies heavily on Canada for refined petroleum products including heating oil, used in over half of homes in the state. It could also affect electricity prices, particularly for some 58,000 customers in Eastern Maine who rely on the New Brunswick power grid. Tariffs on Canada were set to go into effect on Tuesday before the president delayed them.
