Vermont Governor Phil Scott says 50 per cent of their energy comes from Canada and about 25 percent of that comes from Hydro Quebec.
Northeastern U.S. Governors and Canadian Premiers have reaffirmed a partnership committed to trade and economic relations. They wrapped up meetings yesterday in Massachusetts. During questions by the media, Vermont Governor Phil Scott says New England governors have been meeting with Canada since 1973 because of their need for power. He says 50 per cent of Vermont’s energy comes from Canada and about 25 percent of that comes from Hydro Quebec.
Meanwhile, Premier John Hogan spoke about energy needs and greening our grids and how NL fits in, highlighting the recent MOU with Hydro Quebec on Churchill Falls growth. He says there is opportunity to develop green energy options here and are working with partners in Quebec. Hogan says partnerships in the U.S can also be developed. Canada is the top trading partner for most states and the single largest foreign supplier of energy to the United States.
