The United States imported 56.9 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2022 from its neighboring countries Canada and Mexico. In the past decade, electricity imports in the U.S. peaked in 2015, at nearly 76 terawatt-hours. Meanwhile, electricity exports from the U.S. have fluctuated between six and 20 terawatt-hours per year.
Where do U.S. power imports come from?
Electricity imports from Canada represent roughly 90 percent of annual power imports in the U.S. In 2022, more than 52 terawatt-hours were imported from Canada. However, U.S. electricity imports from Mexico have sharply increased in the past decade, from less than two terawatt-hours in 2010 to more than five terawatt-hours in recent years.
