In recent days, a screen “has the cost of electricity increased in shanghai” has spread on internet platforms. According to the author, “the price of electricity in shanghai has increased”, and the price increase has begun in december last year. However, no news has been published in shanghai in recent months about the adjustment of electricity prices for residents, and many netizens have asked about the shanghai pipeline
The shanghai city development and reform commission has responded to this, and the information is false. At present, neither the state nor shanghai has adjusted the price of electricity for its inhabitants, and users of the shanghai market continue to implement the catalogue price promulgated in 2012。
Upon enquiry, in the current table of the cost of electricity to residents living in shanghai city, a table of users increased according to the steps, with the price of electricity in the first tranche being 0. 617 yuan per hour, with the price of electricity in the hour being 0. 617 yuan per hour, and the price of electricity in the valley being 0. 307 yuan per hour; the price of electricity in the second tranche being 0. 667 yuan per hour, with the price of electricity in the hour being 0. 677 yuan per hour and 0. 337 yuan per hour; and the price of electricity in the third tranche being 0. 917 yuan per hour, with the price of electricity in the hour being 0. 977 yuan per hour and 0. 487 yuan per hour. The data are completely different from what the screen says。
The national net market electricity company also indicated that the description in the net screen was verified to be seriously inconsistent with the reality. At the same time, nomc has not recently received a notice from the government department regarding the adjustment of electricity prices for residents。
The shanghai rumour platform has also learned that, according to national regulations, the cost of living, such as electricity prices, is subject to early publicity. In its circular on matters related to the publication of information on the electricity prices policy, issued in february 2019, the shanghai city development reform commission (sdcc) specified that “the formulation and adjustment of policy information on electricity prices, such as the price of electricity sold by the city's electricity users, will be made available to the community through the cpdc website at least one pre-period (generally one month) for the billing of electricity bills”
Thus, there is no web-based increase in prices without informing the public。
The shanghai rumour platform has also learned that rumours have been linked to the discovery by some residents of high electricity costs in december. However, this is analysed in relation to the increase in electricity use due to several factors: in december, as a result of the epidemic, the number of people living in their homes has increased; in the wake of successive cold waves, the amount of energy consumed by air-conditioning units in their homes has increased dramatically; and in the first half of the year, the electricity ladder has increased, with some residents living longer in their homes, leading to a third stage of electricity use in december and an increase in electricity charges in december at the third level. If there is any doubt about the cost of electricity, a telephone call may be made to the national grid for a telephone call of 95598。
