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.

"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." . h6 W9 H* ~: \- Z4 h
“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。”5 u7 |" k, z/ |. O8 Y9 \; C
- `; a0 w z" V7 E) o5 C, NWhile 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. 4 F$ Q1 ]1 S9 h& L: q6 D
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。

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

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”。 |
