In recent days, a screenshot of the announcement that "shanghai electricity prices have increased" has been posted on the internet, with the announcement of "shanghai electricity prices have increased" and the announcement that the price increase has begun in december last year. Many netizens have stated that their families did spend several times more on electricity in december than they normally do, up to a maximum of 2,000。
Is the rumor true? Did shanghai really raise the price of electricity
In response, the shanghai city development and reform commission (sdcc) has given false information on the internet. Currently, neither the state nor shanghai has adjusted its electricity prices. Since the cost of electricity has not been adjusted in shanghai for 10 years, why does the population generally reflect the sharp increase in electricity costs and whether it is an example or a general phenomenon
In response, the authors investigate a number of questions of concern to all。
Question 1
Is everyone's electricity bill up
A search of internet platforms found that many internet users were tanning their own electricity bills at a low of 300 or 400 and at a high of over 1,000. One of the microblogging friends stated that he had asked his friends about the electricity charges of his friends, $800, $980 and $1,500. According to another netizens, the cost of electricity in his home had increased fivefold in december and the house was running out of options。
As soon as the news came out, colleagues asked about the electricity bill, reflecting the different levels of increase in the electricity bill in december, some more than tripled, and some of the new houses that had just moved into have generated high electricity bills, even out of proportion over the summer peak period。
Even worse, a friend of the author's said that in december he was barely home, and that he had to pay $177 for electricity in the empty house. Thus, the increase in electricity prices is not a case in point, but a general phenomenon experienced by the population。
Online country app can no longer search the december bills
Today, it is estimated that there are too many people looking for electricity and that there is a “crowdage” in the national grid and in the payment of treasures, even for one time. The monthly bill for the payment of the treasure “living contributions” shows that “the system is busy, please try again later”。
Question 2
The electricity bill is high because it's in third place
According to the shanghai rumour platform, the cost of living adjustments such as residential electricity prices are subject to early publicity under state regulations。
At present, there is an incremental increase in the price of electricity per household in shanghai city, according to the steps: in the first tranche, the hourly price of electricity is 0. 617 per degree, the hourly price of electricity is 0. 617 per hour and the hourly price of electricity is 0. 307 per hour; in the second tranche, the price of the hourly price is 0. 667 per hour and the hourly price of electricity is 0. 677 per hour and the price of electricity is 0. 337 per hour; in the third tranche, the hourly price of electricity is 0. 917 per degree, 0. 977 per hour and the hourly price of electricity is 0. 977 per hour。
Thus, it is true that the cost of electricity did not rise。
Since the cost of electricity has not been adjusted, why is it suddenly too high? Some of the users have analysed the reasons for the increase in electricity availability as a number of reasons, on the one hand, the fact that in the first half of april and may, the majority of shanghai residents were confined to their homes and had high electricity consumption, which led many families to enter the second class of electricity prices earlier; and, on the other hand, the fact that most shanghains lived “in the sun” in december, combined with a number of sudden temperature reductions, the increased use of heating equipment, such as air conditioning, and the fact that many of them quickly entered the third class of electricity prices, is a major reason for the sharp increase in electricity costs。
The 2022 edition of the shanghai city public price information guide found that the third tranche was 0. 25 dollars higher than the second, and that the unit price was higher and electricity costs naturally increased considerably。
So, if there is a basis for such an analysis, the author enquired about the cost of his own electricity at the “network of nations” app, and the bill shows that the average cost of electricity during the april/may containment period was $139 and that, starting in september this year, the cost of electricity went to the second tier, i. E., the cheapest first installment was spent in september。
In november 2022, the author used the ecd
In november, for example, the monthly electricity consumption was 188 kwh, the electricity cost was $114. 7 and the stairwell power consumption had reached 3785 degrees, entering phase ii, 3121 degrees - 4800 degrees, with incremental charges based on flat, valley and second tranches. According to this standard, electricity charges for september, october and november have been maintained at around $100, as there is only a shortfall of 0. 05 per month between the second and first tranches, with no significant difference in average monthly electricity usage over the three months。
The electricity bill for december 2022
By december, however, electricity costs had risen sharply to $388. 4, with a direct increase of nearly four times. The author wanted to verify whether the sharp increase in electricity costs in december was related to electricity that had entered the third stage, but, with regard to the december breakdown, it was not possible to search for or display “no data available” in the “network of nations” and to pay “living contributions”。
Question 3
The electricity bill is much more expensive than last year's
The price of electricity in december 2021 compared to december 2022 was also significantly doubled. People wonder why electricity costs are so much higher than the same period last year. As december 2021 coincided with a periodic adjustment in the price of the ladder, the rumour that “december 2022 was counted as the thirteenth month of the costing cycle, with the third ladder price settlement” spread。
One network staff member indicated that if electricity costs were compared to the same period last year, there would indeed be a significant difference in perception。
In fact, starting in january 2022, the city's electricity usage ladder will be calculated on a natural year basis. In accordance with the new regulations issued at the time, in 2022, the calculation cycle of the annual steps was adjusted to 1 january of that year and to 31 december of that year, in full conformity with the natural year. As december 2021 was neither in the 2021 cycle nor included in the 2022 cycle, it was implemented separately on the basis of total annual steps。
In other words, if the actual amount of electricity used by a user does not exceed 3120 degrees this month, it is charged at the first step price. In 2021, the electricity bill was $364. 2. The calculation of the electricity charge was indeed based on the first step fee。
It's called december 2021
Detailed charges show that the flat-urban population lives at a unit cost of $0. 617 in the amount of $ 325. 78. Valley-town residents live at a unit cost of $0. 307, amounting to $38. 38. Thus, there is no “13 months to charge the third level”. It should be noted that the adjustment has no effect on electricity prices, which are still implemented at the current level of the prices of the steps。
Of course, in response to questions about electricity charges, the owner can download the internet countrynet app and view the daily rates of electricity usage and charges. In case of doubt, the electricity service line may also be called for further consultation。
Question 4
At the peak hour, 80% of the electricity price went up
While discussing the increase in electricity costs, a “80 per cent rise in electricity prices at peak times” has been circulated over the internet, even supported by cdi documents. What's going on
This information has been verified by the author and is available。
At the end of last year, shanghai, henan, jiangxi and hubei, among others, adjusted their time-consuming electricity policies to increase the peak valley price differential. On 14 december 2022, the shanghai commission for reform and development issued a circular setting electricity prices at a peak of 80 per cent on a flat-band basis for ordinary business and other dual-sector, large industrial power users during the summer (july, august, september) and winter (january, december) periods, and 60 per cent on a low-floor basis。
This initiative is designed to optimize the use of time-priced signals to better guide users to peaking valleys, promote new energy reductions and guarantee the safe and stable functioning of the electricity system. It is worth mentioning that in the circular issued by the shanghai commission for the development and rehabilitation of the city of shanghai, it is stated that the policy on the price of electricity for the population's living and agricultural production is still being implemented in accordance with the previous policy。
Thus, the “80 per cent rise in electricity prices at peak times” is true, but has nothing to do with the “living electricity” of the population in this discussion。
