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. ( n' X' n. s. B0 P8 ^
我生为吃说道，当今年天然气价格翻番的时候，人们马上就预见到电力价格有可能最高上涨2000%。他还说，这是因为电力无法被储存，所以价格也总是极易浮动。3 b7 }6 s) G a& J

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