To clear this up:
BC is a net importer ONLY because we shut our dam capacity down at night, to import power from U.S. plants that must run 24/7 (IE gas/coal/nuclear plants) and have to offload it for dirt cheap (because of low demand at night).
We have far more than enough power to run our province when our plants are running at full tilt.
