Henan was recently asked, "is the electricity bill going up?" "does the roof go up and make money?" an old colleague called me with a bill for last month's electricity in his hand, saying he was in a state of panic. Let's put it right here: the lights are always on, the electricity costs aren't moving。
To be honest, seeing the word “electricity price reform”, the only thing that pops into your head is a price increase. However, in the first year of 2026, this round of adjustments was made in favour of ordinary residents, agricultural land and school hospitals. You're using the same time as usual, the same price per unit, the same subsidy for coal switching to electricity, and my mother's cooking and watching tv in the countryside。
The real move is two pieces: one is the price of the new energy, photovoltaics, wind power, to go online, no longer on government boards, into markets, who buys it, and the price floats. The second is that business users over 10 kv are going into the electricity market and business owners need to pay attention. Less than 200 words, the second detail: the pv, 0. 3779 once-in-a-time electricity, which i gave to the neighbor for 20 years, was relieved。
In henan, the aircraft was installed at 55 million kilowatts at the end of 2025, 86 per cent of which were farm roofs, country yards, county flattops, and the sun was used as a “small vault”. So, instead of going to “squeezing toothpaste”, the reform was dedicated to the private sector. Household photovoltaics and pro-poor photovoltaics that were connected before 1 june were fully stock-protected, electricity collected in full at a price of $0. 3779 per kilowatt-hour, and the policy stated that they were stable for up to 20 years。
Centralized and large-scale distributions, policies have also given way to steps: 80 per cent of electricity is well collected, 20 per cent of it is on the market and more money is earned. The 10 kilowatts of household radiant voltage is about 12,000 degrees a year, at a price of more than 4,000 dollars at the bottom, and the additional 20 per cent is worth hundreds of dollars when the market rises. My fellow village uncle just laid all the roofs last year。
Do you want to do it now? Henan's bright, especially in the country's empty yard, flattops and factory roofs are natural places. A much more popular midday period after the reform, with low electricity limits and a low rate of grid access, the grid company does a one-stop job without you running the market. Small amounts of electricity are available at home, excess automatic sales to the grid, monthly payments and savings。
Where are the factories and shops? The worst hours of daytime electricity use just soar, the price of electricity is even lower, the roof is a plate, it's a drop-off, and the rest is sold. The policy also states that the prices of electricity in business were flat in the first year, that there were slow fluctuations in the back, that there were no significant increases, and that those who did business were very comfortable with it。
The question was: will market prices suddenly fall one day when the government does not price them? Markets are also not fragmented, with floors and floors, and the electricity grid has protected prices against harmful competition. Henan, the main owner of this dish, is the household owner, and the policy is based only on livelihood. If you work in the field, the old people don't pay for electricity by using their cell phones。
There's a little episode around. There was a young man in the village next door, who had not taken the official file and found a board in a “small shop”, who did not turn on the electricity, delayed the payment for six months, couldn't reach the telephone and couldn't cry. The price of electricity can be improved by choosing formal qualifications, using official filings, grid connections, free-of-charge pvs, monthly subscriptions, and no discounts。
Others were frightened by the news of “power costs going up”, saying that power was being hoarded and wired. Residents, agriculture, schools, etc., are not used for electricity and there is no overnight price increase. What really needs to be warned is the fraudsters who blow “exceeded earnings, a year back” and see the face around it as a steady business, not as a short-cut。
The data show that henan light volts account for more than one third of all power generators in the province, more than 80 per cent in distribution and few boards on whose roofs? The bottom line of the current round of reforms is clear: people's lives are protected, electricity prices are steady, light is protected and green is promoted. For ordinary people, it is electro-encumbering; for those who have boarded, it is a steady gain; for those who are ready to load, it is a mature opportunity; and for businesses, it is a reduced cost. My cousin taught at shinjheng, and a few days ago a message was sent that there was a new line of light next to the dorm, and that teachers were wondering if they wanted a whole house。
Have you figured out which side you're on? If you were a normal family in henan, would you choose whether to install it now or to continue watching? Tell me your choice。
