A message from Great River Energy on Canadian tariffs

Your co-op is served by domestic energy

As tariff conversations continue, take comfort in knowing the vast majority of Itasca-Mantrap Electric Cooperative’s energy comes from the United States.

David Saggau, Great River Energy President and Chief Executive Officer

Great River Energy is proud to serve Itasca-Mantrap with reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible wholesale electricity.

Nearly 99% of that energy comes from the United States.

Your homes and business are powered by Great River Energy’s power supply and high-voltage transmission resources, which are located primarily in Minnesota, Iowa, and the Dakotas.

Great River Energy is also a member of a regional energy market, known as MISO, that manages the flow of electricity across 15 states. Less than 1% of MISO’s energy comes from Canada, and only half of that comes from Ontario.

Great River Energy receives so little energy from Canada that we envision tariffs or supply constraints will have minimal effects on the people at the end of the line.

We know how important it is for you to have reliable electricity for your families and your communities.

Together with Itasca-Mantrap and our 25 other member-owner cooperatives, we will continue to monitor the situation and take the necessary actions to keep your electric service dependable.
