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。

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