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.

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”。
