I don't pretend to be an expert in powering a province but if the plan is to push out fuel burning vehicles along with a rising population then we are going to need more generation in the future not the same or less. It's entirely predictable that in the winter it is dark when people are getting home, turning up the heat, plugging in the car, cooking dinner, turning on lights/tv's, etc so solar obviously isn't the answer. Wind generation isn't coming close to meeting demand and is unpredictable.
If the intention is to phase out fossil fuels then what realistic alternative is there besides nuclear?
And how are we expecting to bring on any alternative generation source within 11 years?
