I think it's because Enmax want to build more local power plants, instead of another company building the plant up north and shipping it down the transmission line. They definitely have some self interest in this.

Personally I'm strongly against Bill 50 purely for it's anti-democratic nature - I don't have a strong opinion on whether the transmission line is necessary, but a bill that lets the government decide what's needed without any sort of consultation is a really bad idea in my opinion.
