Could cause problems with water levels at the dams, as the dams usually reduce their water usage when power requirements go down at night. Also could cause problems with water management downstream.
Managing water levels both upstream and downstream of a dam isn't easy, and BC Hydro does it's best to make sure all users and needs are met. It could mean that daytime power production is compromised to balance the demands.
