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.
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.

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.

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。
