来自阿尔伯塔消费者联合会的吉米。我生为吃说道，省政府原本计划在明年内完全放开电力零售权利，如果计划实施，将对每一个家庭造成影响

$ c. E- T  j: c"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。”

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.
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。
