你狠！也够快的。 小家伙睡觉硬把我拉去陪~

好，大致上
Regulated = 管制。 也就是说，所有价格是经过某一机构审核后批准涨幅、跌幅价格。

5 A& c4 S2 F% I9 A+ ]2 j0 o1 h3 hPrior to 1985, the price of natural gas was set by agreements between the federal government and the Province of Alberta. With the signing of the Natural Gas Markets and Pricing Agreement on October 31st, 1985, otherwise known as the “Halloween Agreement”, natural gas prices are now determined by the competitive forces of supply and demand.
" J; \- H' L: h目前亚省天然气是经过 (Alberta Utilities Commission) AUC 批准的。

de-regulated 是指不需要经过审核的价格。 这个就是所谓目前几家公司向个人签署的天然气或电源供应，以合约价格订下一定的时间长短。 由于个别公司提供的产品有异，一些合约价格可以随着市场价格涨跌。
