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. - A9 T3 K* j9 V

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