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.
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。

While 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.

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

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”。
