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.

"You just have this horrendous volatility (in electricity.) And you have it because if the system is not maintained at the perfect balance, the system has big problems."
“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。”

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。
