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.

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. - J/ ~- ?7 j0 { M9 Z& L6 t, }3 m
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。' c+ L1 ~# Z5 H& T: ]# s

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。: v- ^3 t* A3 X3 M" L" d. ]" m* r

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”。 |
