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.

“电力具有可怕的挥发性，这是因为电力需要保存在完全平衡的系统下，这个系统是个大问题。”

* `% w* g# r- x1 {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.

If the province doesn't carefully manage that shift, power bills in every corner of the province could see huge swings, Wachowich warns.
" K# a) S- _" J# L' l6 t如果省政府不能小心对付这个浮动，在省内的各个角落里，电力账单将大大上扬。我生为吃警告说。

In June, Alberta Energy delayed the plan to fully deregulate electricity, instead announcing a new five-year regulated rate option.

"We have to unplug deregulation," MacDonald said. "It may work for the producers, but it doesn't work for the consumers.
“我们不得不对放开计划叫停,” 麦当劳说 “这计划对供应商行得通，但是对消费者行不通。“

While critics reject claims that competition keeps the price of deregulated energy down, McColl maintains that competition in the utilities industry has been "very healthy."
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”。
