We don't call it a hydro bill for nothing. Less than 20% came from fossil fuels in 2018 (latest data I could find easily).
As for increased demand, well, as much as we harp on BC Hydro for the project costs etc., site C will cover the demand here. I know there are other ongoing hydro projects in Newfoundland and Manitoba.
So, the power demand should be covered. Whether that causes some cost increases remains to be seen, but it's not like we're going to have no power or be burning fossil fuel for it.
