-- （第五段中天然气产量数据的单位已更正。） 美国公用事业公司西北能源公司（NorthWestern Energy，简称NWE）周三公布，尽管客户群有所增长，但其零售电力和天然气销量均出现下滑。 截至3月31日的第一季度，该公司售出2.733太瓦时（TWh）的电力，低于去年同期的2.943太瓦时，原因是居民和商业部门的需求下降。 另一方面，客户数量从去年同期的501,786家增至507,779家。 报告显示，尽管如此，由于电价上涨和输电收入增加，电力业务的收入仍同比增长至第一季度的3.621亿美元，而2025年同期为3.355亿美元。 该公司还报告称，由于居民需求疲软，零售天然气销量从上年的1604万德卡瑟姆（Dth）下降至1593万德卡瑟姆。 尽管客户数量从307,890户增至343,568户，但销量仍然下降。 不过，天然气业务当期营收为1.355亿美元，高于上年同期的1.311亿美元。 展望未来，该公司表示将为数据中心供电，并已与Sabey Data Centers、Atlas Power Holdings和Quantica Infrastructure签署了开发协议。该公司预计到2030年将提供高达1.5吉瓦的电力，首批150兆瓦将于2027年底投产。 西北能源公司表示，预计其与黑山能源公司（Black Hills，股票代码：BKH）的合并将于下半年完成，合并后的母公司将命名为光明地平线能源公司（Bright Horizon Energy）。

Canada's Economy Remains on "Shaky Grounds" Based On GDP, While Payroll Data "Paint An Even More Fragile Picture", Says Desjardins
Today's GDP data showed Canada's economy remained on "shaky ground" through the first quarter of 2026, while today's payroll data "paint an even more fragile picture" of the economy, said Royce Mendes over at Desjardins.While Canadian gross domestic product advanced 0.2% month over month in February, in line with consensus, growth tailed off in March, while Statistics Canada's flash estimate points to a flat reading for the final month of Q1. Both the Desjardins quarterly estimate for GDP by expenditure and GDP by industry are tracking an annualized advance of roughly 1.5%, which is consistent with the Bank of Canada's most recent projection, Mendes noted.Given the weak handoff, Desjardins agrees with the central bank's forecast for another quarter of roughly 1.5% growth in Q2, he said.The Survey of Employment, Payrolls and Hours Payroll (SEPH) data, also released Thursday, showed the economy shed 60,000 jobs in February, more than reversing the increase of 44,000 positions in January.Weakness was relatively broad-based across categories, with losses seen in both trade-exposed and non-trade-exposed sectors. In the past few months, Ontario and Quebec have led the way lower, Mendes noted."The GDP and payroll data released today are consistent with an economy unlikely to produce excess inflationary pressures," Mendes said, before adding: "Should oil prices decline in the coming months, the Bank of Canada can remain on the sidelines, confident that the temporary effects of higher oil prices will not generate a sustained period of high inflation."
