I'm a potato leaf. I bring you up to date every day. Everything is dry. If you think it's useful for your life, just pay attention
On 9 april 2026, the national commission for development and reform (cndd) officially issued order no. 41 on criteria for the identification of risks of major electricity accidents and regulations for the regulation of governance supervision, which states that it shall be implemented nationally as of 1 july. As soon as the news came out, a lot of people were beating their minds: would the electricity bill rise when the heat peaks in summer? Shouldn't fengzhou's electricity be cancelled? Can the problem of frequent jumps in the old neighborhood be solved
And today we set forth the new rules with the most true words. This adjustment did not increase the price of electricity by a penny, and all upgrade costs were borne by the power grid enterprise, without any transfer to residents. The core is a more stable power supply, better measurement, better service, safer, more well-regulated and greener. The six major upgrades relate to daily electricity per household, which is not only solid in mind but also cost-effective in terms of cost。
I. Premeditated pills: “thirty per cent” of electricity used by the population to fully offset price increases
Every time the electricity reform takes place, the population's greatest concern is whether the electricity bill will increase. The government has made clear on several occasions that the core of this round of reform is the upgrading of security and services, and that the price of electricity for the population, the rules of billing, and welfare guarantees remain unchanged, which is the unshakeable bottom line。
1. Basic electricity prices remain unchanged, 80 per cent of households at minimum prices
The basic electricity price for the first class of the population is maintained at 0. 52-0. 58 yuan/degree (slightly varying from place to place, e. G. 0. 56 yuan/degree in henan and 0. 58 yuan/degree in guangdong). Annual electricity consumption of 2,760 degrees (average of about 230 degrees per month) covers 82 per cent of ordinary households ' daily electricity needs at first-class low-cost rates. To put it simply, as long as your house is not a powerhouse, the cost of electricity is exactly the same as it is now。
2. No change in the price rule for ladders and full retention of slots and increases
The criteria for the classification of the 3rd stairwell remain unchanged, with no repositioning, no price increases and no base reduction:
• first tranche (basic electricity): 2760 degrees per year, implementation base low
• second tranche (medium-use electricity): 2761-4800 degrees per year, with an upward voltage of 0. 05-0. 1 yuan per degree
• third tranche (high energy consumption): >4800 degrees per year, with an upswing of $0. 2-0. 3 per degree。
There is no change in the multi-population family preference policy: five or more families have an increase of 1,200 degrees for each person who applies for a household account to a power station. For example, the upper limit for the first stage of electricity use has been raised to 3960 degrees to prevent large families from being forced to enter the higher class because of their large population and high electricity consumption。
3. Peak valley electricity price benefits remain unchanged and voluntary start-up takes place money
The price of electricity in peak valley is voluntary, free of charge, time-scaled and price differentials unchanged:
• maximum time period: 8:00-22:00, electricity price 0. 55-0. 59/degree
• low valley time period: 22:00 to 8:00 a. M. The following day, with electricity prices as low as 0. 28-0. 38 yuan/degree, about 40 per cent cheaper than the peak。
Free electricity of 10 to 15 degrees per month for low-income and special hardship case families also continues to be maintained in excess of the policy of partial first-class charges。
Two or six core upgrades, practical, benefiting each household
Upgraded 1: significantly increased power supply stability, fewer power outages and more stable voltage
At previous peaks of electricity use in the first and the last summer, the problems of old sub-districts, rural areas, frequent outages, unstable voltages, domestic electricity such as refrigerators, air conditioning, computers, etc., ageing lines and overloading of transformers have not been resolved。
These conditions will improve significantly after the new landing on 1 july:
• the national electricity grid dedicated more than 150 billion yuan to the complete renovation of urban and rural grid equipment, with a focus on the replacement of ageing lines, extended overload transformers and the upgrading of old switches
• the new regulations specify that eight major electrical hazards (e. G., pylons, super-temperature transformers, failure of protective devices, frequent network failure, etc.) must be reported within three working days, modified within a specified period of time and stopped without meeting the standards
• an annual average of 40 per cent of unplanned power outages after retrofitting can also stabilize power supply in extreme weather and at peaks; voltage fluctuations are strictly within standard limits and household electricity is no longer feared to be damaged
• the response time for recovery has been reduced by half, urban failure has arrived within 45 minutes, rural failure has arrived within 2 hours, minor malfunctions have been resolved on the spot, and the failure has been repeated overnight。
Upgrad 2: full upgrade of measurement accuracy and elimination of "hidden deductions"
A lot of people have been wondering: when you change your smart meter, you feel like you've changed your electricity bill, and you're wondering if it's wrong and you're sick of it. The new regulation specifically addresses measurement by introducing hard measures to make every degree of electricity clear。
• force complete review of all smart meters + rotation: by 1 july, all smart meters operating for more than eight years will be replaced free of charge, new meters will be tested triple before, after installation, and in operation, with strict control of errors within > 0. 2 per cent, and no “fast tables” will be allowed
• real-time upload of measurement data and tracking of the entire process: spreadsheet data are automatically uploaded to provincial metrology platforms every 15 minutes, and users can view daily, hourly power usage at any time through the “network of nations” app, and the data cannot be tampered with to eliminate manual evaluation, error and leakage
• automatic early warning of abnormal use, door-to-door verification: the system monitors electrical data on a real-time basis, detects surges in electricity use, abnormal meters, immediately warns and arranges for free door-to-door verification within 24 hours, which is indeed a matter of metering, with full reimbursement and doubling of the charge。
Upgrade 3: upgrade electrical safety protection to reduce fire and electrical exposure
Electrical fires are high levels of household safety, caused mostly by the ageing of the circuits, the disruption of private connections and the failure of electrical protections. The new regulations put the safety of electricity at the top of the list and eliminate the risks from the source。
• free screening of old and old lines + overhauling: in the case of old and old sub-districts and rural houses built for more than 20 years, the electricity grid company provides free door-to-door screening of indoor circuits, outlets, switches and leaks of electrical protection, discovers old, broken, irregular problems, replaces them free of charge and removes short circuits from fire
• compulsory installation of leak protection units + periodic detection: all users of the population must install qualified leak protections, the electric network company must conduct a free-of-charge check-up every six months, and the failure and damage are replaced free of charge to prevent electrical accidents
• safe electricity promotion + guidance: community, property and industry regularly conduct safe electricity lectures, issue brochures, and staff conduct home visits to guide the correct use of electricity and safe use of electricity, especially for the elderly and families of children left behind, with a focus on screening for safety hazards。
Upgrade 4: full upgrading of public services, simpler and faster
In the past, electricity operations involved running the office, filling in a pile of forms and waiting for days, which were time-consuming and labour-intensive. The new rules simplify processes and optimize services so that users “do less, do better and do nothing”。
• full online coverage: all operations, such as opening of accounts, transfer of accounts, sellers, peak valley electricity, electricity billing, invoice printing, failure repair, etc., can be handled through the “network of nations” app, the micro-intelligence program, the payment of the treasure life line, with zero running legs
• underline window “one window open”: maintenance of the necessary underline office, implementation of “one window for reception, integrated services”, one-time notification, one-time closure of all operations, full on-the-spot processing without running back and forth
• more flexible forms of contribution: multiple methods such as support for wi-fi, payment of treasures, bank card deductions, cash contributions, hand-in-hand payment by convenience stores, etc., are free of charge; after a failure to pay for power, online contributions are successfully retried within 30 minutes, without waiting for staff to come to the door
• home-based services for special groups: for older persons, persons with disabilities, and users with mobility difficulties, services are provided free of charge, exclusive services such as door-to-door operations, electrical circuits and electricity charges。
Upgrade 5: transparently upgraded electricity billing with clarity and clarity
Many do not understand the bills, only the total amount, and do not know where the money is spent or how it was calculated. The new regulation requires that the bill be detailed, popular and transparent, so that users can understand, count and use。
• subsidiarily listed, clear and comprehensible: a clear statement of the basic electricity bill, an increase in the price of electricity on the ladder, a concessionary electricity bill for the peak valley, a share of the public electricity bill, if any, a default payment, if any, each amount, calculation, etc., is clearly stated and calculated
• daily details: users can access daily, hourly electricity through the app, which is shown separately in peaks and valleys, with a clear understanding of when electricity is being used and when it is being used in the province, thus facilitating the adaptation of electricity usage habits
• the unusual bill is a proactive reminder that when the monthly electricity bill is more than 20 per cent higher than the previous month, the system automatically sends text messages, ap messages alerts, alerts users about the cause of the anomaly, alerts users to check and avoid unwittingly spending more money。
Upgrade 6: green electricity to encourage upgrading, cost-effective and environmentally friendly
In order to encourage the population to use electricity in a cost-effective and green manner, the new regulations provide incentives to protect the environment while saving money。
• subsidy for energy-efficient household electricity: purchase of energy-efficient household electricity such as primary energy-efficient air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters, for which direct deductions can be made for electricity charges based on purchase invoices, identification cards, account numbers, etc., of $50-200 per station at local power stations
• incentives for faulty electricity use: users who use more than 30 per cent of electricity in low-lying hours (22:00 to 8:00 a. M.) are rewarded with 5-10 degrees of free electricity per month, encouraging people to avoid peaks and miscalculation
• simplified photovoltaic net + subsidy: residents build their own distributed photovoltaic power stations, which are easily accessible, free of charge, maintain the price of the remaining electricity to the internet, provide additional local subsidies of 0. 05-0. 1 yuan/degree in some areas, and generate their own savings and sell surplus electricity。
Iii. Common rumours focus on clarifying and not being misinformed
Rumor 1: the electricity bill went up after july. It cost half a month
The truth: the price of electricity for the population, the ladders, the valleys remain unchanged, the basic price of electricity remains at 0. 52 to 0. 58/degree, and 80 per cent of households are at the lowest price and do not spend an extra cent。
Rumour 2: cancel the price of the ladder, the price of the canyon, and flatize the price
The truth: the price of the ladder, the price of the canyon, the price of the canyon, the level of the slot, the time frame, the price mark, the price of the canyon still open voluntarily, and the price of the canyon still saves money。
Rumour 3: the cost of business reform is passed on to residents, and electricity costs are rising
The truth: the state has made it clear that the population does not participate in market-based distribution, that the costs of reform are borne by business and electricity grids, and that the government of electricity prices for the population is set to the bottom and never increases。
Rumor 4: smart meters run fast. No extra charges
Truth: the new meter is triple detectable, error is controlled, data can be uploaded retroactively in real time, anomalies can be verified free of charge, and there is no problem of “run fast” deductions。
Rumour 5: the old neighborhood is not being remodeled, the power outage is still unsolved
The truth is: the national electricity grid has invested more than $150 billion to transform the urban and rural grid, giving priority to old and old sub-districts and rural areas, significantly reduced non-planned power cuts and more stable access to electricity。
Iv. People's skills in money-saving exercise in 2026
1. The price of electricity in the peak valley is about 40 per cent cheaper and saves tens of dollars a month using water heaters, washing machines, air conditioners, charging, etc. After 22 p. M。
2. Control of power use in the first tranche: average monthly electricity usage is up to 230 degrees and not exceeding 2760 degrees throughout the year, always at the lowest price, without the need for a ladder premium。
3. Replacement of energy-efficient household electricity: replacement of old, high-energy household electricity with a level-i energy efficiency product, saving of electricity durability and subsidised electricity costs。
4. Periodic inspection of circuits: professionals are asked to inspect indoor circuits, plugs, switches, leaks, replacement of ageing components in a timely manner and to save electricity once a year。
5. Multi-population families apply for an expansion: five or more families have to save money skills by applying for an increase in the base scale based on the household register to the power station, avoiding entering the high-priced class。
Summary
On 1 july 2026, the new regulation on electricity charges, which provides for the well-being of the population, does not increase the price of electricity, upgrades only and improves the population's access to electricity in terms of its stability, accuracy in measurement, security of access to electricity, accessibility, transparency of the bill, and green electricity, so as to make it more stable, economical, safer and less expensive for households。
There is no need to be misled by web-based rumours, no need to worry about rising electricity prices and no longer to endure frequent power outages, uncounted charges and problems. These issues will be addressed gradually when the new rules are put in place, and we will simply keep the power and the money safe。
