"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."
“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。”

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

In June, Alberta Energy delayed the plan to fully deregulate electricity, instead announcing a new five-year regulated rate option.
在六月，阿尔伯塔能源部推迟了完全放开电力市场的计划，取而代之的是发布了一个新的五年规划价格。

The province is scheduled to review the proposal in the fall of 2007.
省政府将于2007年重新审定放开市场的计划

Liberal energy critic Hugh MacDonald said the province reined in its plan because it knows it won't work.

"We have to unplug deregulation," MacDonald said. "It may work for the producers, but it doesn't work for the consumers.
“我们不得不对放开计划叫停,” 麦当劳说 “这计划对供应商行得通，但是对消费者行不通。“
