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.

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.

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