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.
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。

In June, Alberta Energy delayed the plan to fully deregulate electricity, instead announcing a new five-year regulated rate option.
在六月，阿尔伯塔能源部推迟了完全放开电力市场的计划，取而代之的是发布了一个新的五年规划价格。

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”。
