It is expected that the temperature in Chongqing this summer will be higher than that in the same period
Electricity consumption will further increase during the summer peak period
July and August every year are the hottest months of the year, especially in Chongqing In the summer, most people are so hot that they just want to stay in an air-conditioned room. Therefore, these two months are also peak periods for electricity consumption.
How big is Chongqing’s electricity load in summer? According to statistics, the maximum load of the power grid in summer is more than twice that of spring and autumn, and the maximum peak and valley difference exceeds 50%.
It is worth noting that the 2022 summer climate trend forecast released by the Chongqing Meteorological Observatory mentioned that from June to August this year, the city’s average temperature was overall 0.3°C higher than the same period in normal years and 0.6°C higher than the same period last year. Among them, the temperature in most areas of Chongqing from July to August is 39-40℃, and the temperature in the river valley areas can reach around 42℃.

In other words, the temperature in Chongqing this summer is expected to be higher than the same period last year, and electricity consumption is likely to increase further.
On this basis, Chongqing’s power supply pressure will be even greater due to factors such as extreme sunny and high-temperature weather in summer, continued dry water supply, blocked unit output, and unplanned outages. In order to ensure the safety and stability of power supply in summer, the summer time-of-use electricity price mechanism for commercial users came into being.
Time-of-use electricity price The maximum price increase is 0.19 yuan/kWh
The cost of off-peak electricity consumption is lower
However, the summer time-of-use electricity price mechanism mentioned in this "Notice" is currently only applicable to businesses, and is not suitable for ordinary residents. ,Has little effect. So specifically, which groups will see electricity prices rise on the 1st of next month? What is the time range for time-of-use pricing? Read below ↓
According to the scope of implementation given in the "Notice": commercial users with power supply voltages of 10 kV and above and power receiving transformer capacity of 100 kVA and above, and non-resident users (including government agencies, institutions, etc.) with industrial and commercial electricity prices. ).

Time-of-use electricity pricing has three periods, namely peak period, trough period and flat period .
Peak hours: 11:00-17:00, the electricity price is increased by 0.19 yuan/kWh on the basis of flat periods;
Trough periods: 08:00-11:00, 17:00-20:00, the electricity price is reduced on the basis of flat periods 0.23 yuan/kWh;
flat section: the rest of the time period is flat section.
Although the electricity price during peak hours has increased by 1.9 cents/kWh, the electricity price during off-peak hours has decreased by 2.3 cents/kWh, and the duration of the two periods is the same. From this point of view, as long as non-resident users of commercial electricity use electricity at off-peak hours, their electricity costs will be lower.
People in Chongqing are about to enter the heat wave this summer.
Residents going out to escape the summer heat will also help to stabilize electricity consumption in the summer.
Chongqing implements commercial summer time-of-use electricity prices to guide commercial non-resident users to use electricity in off-peak hours. On the one hand, it can reduce the electricity costs of commercial users; On the one hand, it can ensure the stable power consumption of both commercial users and residential users in the summer, killing two birds with one stone.

Although the upcoming price adjustment for electricity will not have much impact on residential users, according to the weather forecast for this summer from the Chongqing Meteorological Observatory: the temperature will rise from July to August compared with previous years, and Chongqing people are about to start. Summer vacation is the trend this year.
Every summer, places such as Fairy Mountain , Jinfo Mountain , Nantian Lake , Simianshan around Chongqing will welcome a wave of summer vacationers, and this year is no exception. At present, some travel APP interfaces have arranged activities for "playing in the water to escape the heat".

The temperature of the summer resort we go to is suitable, and generally speaking, there is no need to turn on the air conditioner.Just imagine, retired people and students on vacation will inevitably use air conditioners excessively if they stay at home for a long time throughout the summer. If they go to escape the heat, this kind of situation can be greatly avoided.
Whether it is rafting for summer vacation on the weekends or living in a summer house during the holidays, this way of avoiding the heat not only keeps you away from the heat, but also brings certain benefits, reducing the use of air conditioning. Even if this method is only a drop in the bucket during the peak period of summer electricity consumption, it still promotes stable electricity consumption to a certain extent.
