Alberta only has a few small connections, almost all power is self-generated:
Being tied to a larger grid is probably over-rated, Texas by itself has a grid comparable in size to many countries. Plus even if tied, it's unlikely that it would have 20, 30 GW of interconnects or that its neighbors would actually have that much surplus, especially with correlated weather. California in August had issues with imports because its neighbors all had the same problems with high demand from heat.
