It is true that both Alberta and Texas are poorly connected to their neighbors relative to the average internal loading.

So, note that I am talking out of my @ss before you read this next statement ...
But I thought as short as 10 years ago about 50% of our power came from BC, when they had peak supply with Hydro, and then vice versa, 50% of BC power came from AB 'dirty' coal when they had low supply with Hydro.
Is this approx true, and if so, how could we be considered as poorly connected as Texas with so much power transfer between AB and BC?
