Just imagine, what would happen if there was a power outage across the country for a day? So what would it look like if the power went out for a week? Electricity is inseparable from our lives. We cannot live without electricity. We have to pay water and electricity usage fees every month. The price of electricity has always been a concern in the past. Nowadays, people's living conditions have improved, but the price of electricity has also increased. ? On such a hot day, wouldn’t you be willing to turn on the air conditioner?
What is the international electricity price?
The average domestic electricity price in my country is 60 cents per kilowatt hour, while in the United States, converted from U.S. dollars to RMB, it is 70 cents per kilowatt hour. Looking at it this way, the electricity price in the United States is more expensive than in China, so it seems that the electricity bill in the United States is more expensive than in China. But consider per capita income. The per capita income in the United States is more than six times that of China. From this point of view, with such a big income difference, electricity prices in China are not cheap compared to those in the United States.
Electricity Price Ladder Policy
In some big cities, there are always individuals or companies that over-consume electricity resources. Therefore, in order to reasonably allocate resources, the country has introduced an electricity price ladder policy on electricity issues. It was officially proposed and implemented in the summer of 2012. , the electricity price is basically divided into three grades. The first grade is when the total electricity consumption does not exceed 210 kilowatt hours. In this case, the electricity consumption is not much. A family uses almost this much electricity in a month, and the electricity price is about 5 Mao sixty-one degrees. The second level is for those with relatively high electricity consumption. For example, in some wealthy families, the air conditioner is always on in the summer. If you wear a "padded jacket" when you get home, you may catch a cold. The electricity consumption in a month is 210-400 kilowatt hours. In this case, five cents will be added to the electricity price, which means that one kilowatt hour of electricity will cost about 71 cents. The last special situation is when the electricity consumption exceeds 400 kilowatt hours. This rarely exists in ordinary households and is equivalent to The electricity consumption of others for two months is 30 cents per kilowatt hour, which is 86 cents per kilowatt hour.
Is the electricity cost high?
Some people will say that they understand that the cost of electricity is actually not high. The electricity sold to residents is 1.5 times the "original" electricity price. If the electricity price given by the power plant is 50 cents, then the electricity sold to the people is 70.51 cents. Degree, enterprise electricity consumption is twice that of commercial electricity and residential electricity. Basically, the electricity sold to the people is sold to the power company through the power plant, and then the power company sells it to the customer at a doubled price. The electricity sold by the power company is delivered to the people through transmission equipment, and everyone knows the treatment of the power company. The most ordinary employee can get more than 300,000 yuan a year, so the electricity we use has to be included in the labor force. Cost, that is to say, a large part of the electricity bill we pay is to pay them wages.
Can’t turn on the air conditioner?
Nowadays, the conditions of every household have improved. Whether in cities or rural areas, everyone has one or two air conditioners in their home. In cities with good conditions, central air conditioners are installed to save space. Although many manufacturers of air conditioners sell "once a night." "Electricity" banner, but when we paid the electricity bill, we found that this was impossible.
In the hot summer, even if you are only at home at night, the air conditioner consumes two kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour. If it is turned on for five hours, it is 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity. If electricity costs one dollar per kilowatt hour, then the cost of a night's sleep cannot be less than ten dollars. From this point of view, It’s really hard to afford to turn on the air conditioner. It costs 10 yuan per room. Even if a family of three doesn’t eat or drink, the electricity bill for a day is as high as 20 yuan. If you pay 600 yuan for electricity a month, it’s still stressful for an ordinary family. of. So if electricity prices really rise to this level, will you still turn on the air conditioner?
