A polar vortex forced Hydro-Québec to stop power exports to Massachusetts, disrupting a $16 billion 20-year contract.
Severe cold from a polar vortex caused Hydro-Québec to temporarily halt power exports to Massachusetts over the weekend and Tuesday morning, just days after the New England Clean Energy Connect line opened.
The utility prioritized Quebec’s domestic needs amid record energy demand and reduced reservoir levels from a three-year drought.
Massachusetts acknowledged the disruptions, noting limited power deliveries continue.
The 20-year contract, worth $16 billion, was based on Quebec’s past energy surplus, which no longer exists due to rising local demand.
While Massachusetts is considering penalties, Hydro-Québec says extreme weather may exempt it from charges.
