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.

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. 8 h- }" j; j& U: @! ^

' B4 Z, Y5 Y8 E6 `& M9 Y3 jWhile 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. ! ^7 V. q6 R+ ]6 @& l. E6 Z
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。! \/ b8 |2 H$ w) L. R# f4 S( ]; v

If the province doesn't carefully manage that shift, power bills in every corner of the province could see huge swings, Wachowich warns. % C' h9 M# C; _! B3 E
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。
