Abstract
The article focuses on how prolonged drought and low reservoir levels have forced electricity imports and reduced exports for utilities like BC Hydro, despite infrastructure such as the Revelstoke Dam and support from industry observers including WaterPowerCanada. Topics include drought-driven energy shortages, shifting electricity trade balances, and trade data from Statistics Canada highlighting Canada's clean-technology export challenges and growing import dependence.
