CA only produces like 70% of the electricity it uses, they get power all the way from Canada not just WA

California often produces over 100% of the energy it uses, is sometimes a net exporter of power, and often curtails in-state solar and wind. For 2026 the import limit is 11 GW, so in-state production won't be less than about 81% at any given time.
Sure, but the net is that it imports like 30% of the electricity it uses.
