I just wonder, when you say “battery”.... Right now we have, say, hydro or nuclear, which is that baseload energy. Would the interties facilitate using wind and solar with those baseloads if we have provinces that have one but not the other? For instance, we've had witnesses here from the maritime provinces and the Atlantic provinces talking about interties that could bring in hydro from Labrador and use it to balance the wind energy they're producing elsewhere.
