What is the tariff place on imported energy?
The current administration has implemented a 10 percent tariff on energy imported from Canada.
How will this tariff affect Liberty Customers?
- We are investigating the proposal to learn more about how the tariff is being imposed and what impacts it could have for our customers.
- It is reasonable to expect that any additional import taxes placed on Liberty would be passed to customers in the Gas Charge portion of their bills only.
- Your bill is comprised of Delivery Charges, which primarily includes charges that allow us to operate, maintain, and invest in our system so we can continue providing safe, reliable service.
- Your bill also has a Gas Charge. This is the actual cost of the gas, which is a pass-through cost. Liberty buys gas off the open market and passes this cost directly on to customers.
- You can see an explanation of the charges on your bill here.
How much natural gas do we purchase from Canada?
Liberty New York Gas buys the majority of its gas from Canada, and that remains the best option.
We will keep customers updated as we learn more about the rollout of the tariff and what it means for Liberty’s customers.
