"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。”

3 @! {9 a, Q; \' E) K6 K+ PWhile 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.

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。

While critics reject claims that competition keeps the price of deregulated energy down, McColl maintains that competition in the utilities industry has been "very healthy."
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”。
