安大略省将在今冬从美国进口电力，该省独立电力系统运营商（IESO）宣布。就在几个月前，省长道格·福特曾因持续的贸易战威胁要切断对美国的电力出口。
Ontario will import power from the United States this winter, the province's independent electricity operator has announced, just a few months after Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut exports to the U.S. amid the ongoing trade war.
IESO在10月1日的新闻稿中表示，该合同将有助于在“设施维护”期间确保额外的短期容量，以应对冬季需求。
The contract will help secure additional short-term capacity for the winter, while "facility maintenance" takes place, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) said in an Oct. 1 news release about the deal.
IESO称，与美国公司Alpha Generation签订的为期六个月、容量为600兆瓦的合同将于11月1日生效。
The six month contract with U.S. based Alpha Generation for 600 megawatts will start on Nov. 1, IESO said.
虽然IESO未具体说明正在进行的维护工作内容，但安大略省已在9月开始对皮克林核电站进行多年期的翻新改造项目。
While IESO did not detail the maintenance work taking place, the province began a multi-year refurbishment project at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station in September.
哈佛大学研究美加政治的博士后研究员刘易斯·克拉申斯基表示，根据他的观察，该合同削弱了福特政府近期的表态。
The contract undercuts recent statements by the Ford government, according to Lewis Krashinsky, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University who studies U.S.-Canada politics.
IESO是一个独立机构，负责监测安大略省的电网，与省级政府无关。尽管如此，克拉申斯基表示，该合同将“削弱”福特利用电力作为对美谈判筹码的立场。
IESO is an independent body that monitors the province's electric grid and is not associated with the provincial government. Despite that, Krashinsky said the contract will "undercut" Ford's position on using electricity as a bargaining chip with the U.S.
他说：“尽管福特一直强硬表态，但我认为这对道格·福特来说一点都不好看。”
"For all the tough talk, I think it doesn't look at all that good for Doug Ford," he said.
8月时，福特曾表示，随着贸易战持续，他愿意切断向美国的电力和关键矿产供应。安大略省目前向密歇根州、纽约州和明尼苏达州的约150万人供电。
In August, Ford said he was willing to cut off electricity and critical minerals to the U.S. as the trade war drags on. Ontario sends power to about 1.5 million people in Michigan, New York and Minnesota.
克拉申斯基说：“福特能希望的最好结果就是，这个故事不会被太多美国媒体报道。”
"The best [Ford] can hope for is that this story doesn't hit too many American outlets," Krashinsky said.
“[如果它传到]美国高层领导人的耳中，他们只会说，‘太好了，我们要取消这份合同，或者我们不再认真对待你们，因为你们仍然需要我们的能源。’”合同是“正常”规划的一部分：IESO 尽管有了这份新合同，安大略省仍是“净电力出口省”，IESO 在周五的一份电子邮件声明中表示。IESO 的职责是确保安大略省居民能够获得可靠且负担得起的电力供应，它表示。
"[If it reaches] the ears of senior American leaders, they're going to just say, 'Great, we're cancelling this contract or we're not taking you seriously, because you still need our energy too.'" Contract part of 'normal' planning: IESO Despite the new contract, Ontario is a "net-exporter of power," IESO said in an emailed statement Friday. IESO's mandate is to ensure a reliable and affordable supply of electricity for Ontarians, it said.
安大略省向魁北克和纽约等邻近地区输送的电力是其在2025年进口量的七倍，IESO 表示。
Ontario is exporting seven times more electricity to neighbouring jurisdictions, such as Quebec and New York, than it imported in 2025, IESO said.
阿尔法发电公司（Alpha Generation）的合同是“正常系统规划”的一部分，旨在通过确保额外的短期容量来管理“全系统维护需求”，并在冬季高峰期满足需求，IESO 表示。CBC 新闻向阿尔法发电公司索取了有关该交易的更多信息。
The Alpha Generation contract is a part of "normal system planning" to secure additional short-term capacity as a way to manage "system-wide maintenance needs" and to cover peak demand over the winter months, IESO said. CBC News asked Alpha Generation for more information on the deal.
该省周五未就该合同作出回应，而是将 CBC 新闻转介给了 IESO。
The province did not respond Friday to questions on the contract, referring CBC News to IESO.
省需投资清洁能源：专家 Keith Brooks，加拿大环境防御组织（Environmental Defence Canada）倡导团体的项目主管，认为该省本可以通过在过去几年转向更多清洁能源，完全避免从美国进口电力。
Province needs to invest in clean energy: expert Keith Brooks, programs director for advocacy group Environmental Defence Canada, argues the province could have avoided importing electricity from the U.S. entirely by shifting to more clean energy sources in the past few years.
福特政府上台后取消了若干清洁能源项目，并撤销了制定长期能源计划的要求，布鲁克斯说。
The Ford government cancelled several clean energy projects and removed the requirement to create a long-term energy plan when they first came into power, Brooks said.
“政府在这件事上管理失当，”他说，并补充道，该省对核能和燃气系统的依赖程度过高，而这些系统维护成本昂贵，且运行时间“远超原本计划的时长”。“事实是，由于我们一直未建设清洁能源，安大略省正在燃烧越来越多的天然气，”他补充道。
"The government has mismanaged this file," he said, adding the province has become overly reliant on nuclear and gas systems that are expensive to maintain and have remained active "much longer than originally intended." "The reality is we've been burning more and more gas in Ontario because we haven't been building clean energy," he added.
2025年6月12日的新闻稿称，在2025年夏季，福特政府宣布了该省有史以来首个综合能源计划，旨在为“子孙后代”保障能源供应。该计划包括对核能的承诺，目标是到2050年实现99%的零排放电力。
In the summer of 2025, the Ford government announced the province's first-ever integrated energy plan, which seeks to secure energy for "generations to come," according to a news release from June 12, 2025. The plan includes a commitment to nuclear energy, with the goal of reaching 99 per cent zero-emissions electricity by 2050.
福特在加美贸易战中再次强调对特朗普说“亲我的屁股”的言论。福特在贸易战阴影下再次威胁切断对美能源供应。布鲁克斯表示，鉴于美国提供了安大略省用于发电的大部分天然气，福特关于扣留能源的威胁是“空谈”。
Ford doubles down on 'kiss my ass' comment to Trump amid Canada-U.S. trade war Ford doubles down on threat to cut off energy to U.S. amid spectre of trade war Ford's threats on withholding energy are "idle," Brooks said, given the U.S. provides most of the gas Ontario uses for power.
他说：“[美国]本可以切断天然气供应，这意味着我们甚至连自己家的灯都开不了，更别说卖电给他们了。”
"[The U.S.] could have shut off the gas, which meant we couldn't even turn our own lights on, let alone sell electricity to them," he said.
布鲁克斯说，解决办法是增加对清洁能源的投资，包括风能和太阳能。在他看来，本土清洁能源胜出“不言而喻”。
The solution is to invest more in clean energy, including wind and solar, Brooks said. Homegrown clean energy wins "hands down" for Brooks.
他说：“我们不需要依赖美国来提供天然气或电力。我们可以在这里自己生产。”
"We don't need to rely upon the U.S. to give us the gas nor the electricity. We can generate it here ourselves," he said.
