Includes firm transfer capabilities as of 2015 + additional 883 MW line capacity as of 2021 with new 500 kV Great Northern Transmission Line. No mentioning of planned lines between Manitoba and United States except for the existing ones with MISO (USAMI). Manitoba expects to reduce exports of electricity over the coming years due to growing domestic demand.
