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。

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.
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。
