The domestic ladder electricity price is over 0.30 Yuan in the third gear

Although the National Development and Reform Commission raised the average price per kilowatt-hour for nationwide electricity sales by about 3 cents, it did not adjust the residential electricity price in accordance with this standard. Instead, it issued the “Guidance on the pilot electricity price for household electricity use trials” (hereinafter referred to as “Opinions”). ) The electricity consumption of households with different electricity consumption varies.

It is understood that in October 2010, the NDRC had publicly solicited opinions on the “Opinions” from the society and had already determined the implementation plan half a year ago. It has also been implemented in three provinces of Zhejiang, Sichuan and Fujian.

First of all, the “Opinions” will change the first-tier tariff to basically stable in the near future, guaranteeing that 80% of households will not adjust their electricity prices, and set households in urban and rural minimum guarantees and rural five-guarantee families to 10 or 15 degrees per month. Free electricity, reducing the impact of electricity price adjustments on low-income groups.

At the same time, we will increase the standard for sub-standard electricity, expand the first-level electricity to cover 80% of households, and expand the second-tier to cover 95% of households. In addition, after the sub-file, after widening the spread of each file, with the exception of the first-order price, the price of second-order electricity will be appropriately increased, and the price of third-order electricity will be greatly increased. This will reduce the electricity cost burden of residents with less electricity.

If a city implements a residential ladder price scheme, the first level of electricity will be within 150 degrees without raising the price; the second level of electricity will be 150-270 degrees with a 5 cents per degree of electricity increase; and the third stage of electricity will be more than 270 degrees. , 0.3 yuan per kWh.

The relevant person in charge of the Development and Reform Commission explained to the "First Financial Daily" example that if the monthly electricity consumption of a household is 150 degrees, the electricity price per kWh will increase by an average of 3 cents, and the monthly electricity bill will An increase of 4.5 yuan; if the implementation of the ladder price, the electricity fee does not increase. If the monthly electricity consumption is increased to 350 degrees, the monthly electricity price will increase by 10.5 yuan if the ladder price is not implemented, and 5 cents, 270 degrees to 350 degrees, will be added for each kWh between 150 and 270 degrees after the implementation of the ladder electricity price. Between each kWh increase of 3 cents, the electricity fee increases by 30 yuan, a relative increase of 19.5 yuan in electricity.

It can be seen that, compared with the general price adjustment, after the implementation of the ladder price, the monthly electricity consumption of households within the first tranche, the relative reduction in electricity expenses; monthly electricity consumption after a certain number, the more the amount of electricity, increase Relatively more electricity charges.

In addition, the above-mentioned sources stated that since the urban and rural minimum living households and rural five-guarantee households set a free electricity of 10 or 15 degrees per month, each household can also reduce electricity expenses by 60 to 90 yuan per year.

In addition, the source said that for the ladder price and peak-to-hour electricity prices are not contradictory, can be parallel. Both are important demand-side tariff management systems, with different emphasis. The residential ladder price is mainly to encourage electricity users to save electricity; the peak-to-peak electricity price is mainly to encourage electricity users to use less electricity at peak hours.

It is understood that in the residents' ladder price guidance issued this time, it is explicitly proposed to encourage the implementation of the residents' time-of-use price, and it is required that local residents formulate the peak-to-peak electricity price method.

However, Zhang Pei, a professor at North China Electric Power University, pointed out to the newspaper that the ladder price avoids drastically raising the price of electricity, and that while protecting the power for low-income residents, it has also played a role in saving energy and reducing consumption, helping to break through the power reform. However, it is still difficult to truly establish a pricing mechanism based on marketization, because the issue of cross-subsidy for residents' electricity prices cannot be solved.
