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.

' n# O6 i. W- S+ a% ^) |2 A7 `/ J. ?
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 {% L3 ?- [- j# m' _1 M/ S" H
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。/ c4 |' E! R- ~

If the province doesn't carefully manage that shift, power bills in every corner of the province could see huge swings, Wachowich warns. 6 U+ [9 f4 p* T& [2 q

麦口称，市场放开后，市场竞争将促使电力价格下降。但是批评者们不买她的账。麦口还是坚持说，能源产业的竞争一直都是“非常良性的”。 |
