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.

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.

; E. m$ V: M p# }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. * p$ b, R# s( u( p! o6 }/ K
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。: `, J* `0 d7 B0 A+ l. Y9 [

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”。 |
