Sask has been buying from Man Hydro for years, but have greatly increased that in the last few years with new transmission lines being built.
It seems like power suppliers in Canada don't play that well amongst themselves. It seems that relying on interprovincial transmission for anything other than occasional help is the exception rather than the rule in Canada.
