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?

The AB/BC intertie has a capacity of about 1,000 MW give or take, depending on system conditions. Total installed generation is in Alberta is around 16,000 MW.
