I assume those are the only states that would be affected.
Not in an interconnected and dynamic grid.
If neighboring states have higher demand at a given time and those 3 states have a surplus at the same time, they can sell it along (presumably at the new higher price).
And they also compete for electricity with consumers in those other states, so rates can go up, just because those utilities profits can go up by supplying neighbours.
Quebec needs to add an export tariff on their electricity too. Use the proceeds to subsidize aluminum energy costs.
