Grid expansion in terms of adding additional provincial and out of country power line ties is a very good thing for everyone. AB currently has ties with BC, Sask and Montana. This provides 2 very important functions, number one being increased reliability of electricity.
The secondary function being that when these ties are closed, grids are less susceptible to voltage/frequency dips with the loss of a generator or the increase in demand. It's a great thing that's happening.
Edit: I would be very hesitant for AB to look at importing energy from other provinces, namely Ontario and possibly Quebec. This has more to do with the political leverage we would be giving them and not the capacity/green energy issue. Ideally an Albertan made green solution or nuclear power will be developed.
