Albertans worried about the looming spike in natural gas prices could be in for another shock when electricity in Alberta is fully deregulated, says a consumer advocate. * w* i8 R0 G* \/ i

Jim Wachowich of the Consumers Coalition of Alberta says the province's plan to deregulate retail power - which was originally supposed to be completed next year - could impact almost every household.

While natural gas has doubled in price this year, Wachowich said electricity has - if only momentarily - seen spikes of up to 2000%. He said that happens because electricity can't be stored and is always susceptible to price fluctuations. 3 f: }) r" h+ r( a# u4 E/ B" b
我生为吃说道，当今年天然气价格翻番的时候，人们马上就预见到电力价格有可能最高上涨2000%。他还说，这是因为电力无法被储存，所以价格也总是极易浮动。6 O9 @: h3 T1 r% F3 ?; P

If the province doesn't carefully manage that shift, power bills in every corner of the province could see huge swings, Wachowich warns. # g9 l2 w# e) Q+ \3 E# [
