" . . . power is there for our customers during the winter season when electricity use in B.C. reaches its peak." Hydro, Mar. 3, 2017.
---------------------------

Peak demand on the Western Interconnect is summer. We supply to this peak from B.C. Cheap surplus power is available from the grid in winter, which is why we purchase it most years to supplement our reservoirs. Our water treaties, in fact, require us to purchase and sell power this way and will for the foreseeable future. Site C is corporate welfare for LNG.
