曾经担心天然气价格上涨的阿尔伯塔人，如果看到阿尔伯塔电力产业完全放开经营，一定又被吓个大跳。一个消费者维权倡导人说道。

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.

If the province doesn't carefully manage that shift, power bills in every corner of the province could see huge swings, Wachowich warns.
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。
