Regarding the issue of electricity consumption, the entire society is very concerned about it. From the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, due to the immature technology in all aspects of our country, various regions across the country were often faced with power outages. Sometimes power outages for a week were common.
However, as the country gradually deploys various major projects and develops the world's leading ultra-high voltage transmission technology, the majority of residents can get rid of the troubles of power outages.
Although prices have risen over the years, electricity prices for residents have never increased.

However, with the development of the times and the transformation of energy, the electricity consumption in various regions of the country has increased rapidly. Recently, there is news that the tiered electricity price will be cancelled. What is going on?
What will be the new changes in rural electricity payment in the future after the tiered electricity prices are cancelled? Will the price drop?
1. my country’s current electricity payment system
The current electricity payment system in most areas of our country is the tiered electricity price. The general principle of the so-called tiered electricity price is that the more electricity is used, the more expensive the electricity price will be.
The tiered electricity price stipulates that there are three levels of electricity price standards. In the first level, when the electricity consumption is less than 200 kilowatt hours per month, the electricity fee standard is 0.52-0.62 yuan per kilowatt hour.

In the second step, when the power used is between 200 and 400 kilowatt-hours, the cost of electricity is 5 cents per kilowatt-hour, reaching 0.57 yuan. At the third level, when the electricity consumption exceeds 400 kilowatt-hours, electricity is 30 cents more expensive per kilowatt-hour, reaching 0.82 yuan.
Of course, in reality, the electricity price regulations for these three tiers vary from place to place, and the local regulations shall prevail. What differentiates the tiered electricity price from past electricity tariff standards is that each household can apply different electricity price standards according to their own needs.

The electricity price of the lowest tier is generally slightly lower than the previous electricity price. As a result, most households basically fall into the first tier of electricity consumption.
In addition to implementing tiered electricity prices, rural areas have also completed a new round of power grid transformation in recent years, replacing aging old lines with new ones. This can greatly reduce circuit losses and help rural electricity users save some electricity. At the same time, electrical equipment will be replaced to make rural power grids more stable and safe. Upgrade lines to meet the growing demand for electricity in rural areas.

And the electricity meters in farmers' homes have been replaced by the new smart electricity meters . The new electricity meters are more convenient to use and more accurate. Taken together, the combined effect of tiered electricity prices, power grid transformation, and smart meters has greatly reduced electricity bills for people in various regions across the country, and they no longer have to worry about electricity bills.
2. Why the electricity payment system needs to be changed
The policy of tiered electricity prices and tiered gas prices has been implemented for nearly 10 years. It may have been appropriate from the time, but some experts believe that the electricity and gas prices at this level are obviously not suitable for the development of the current era.

Because the tiered electricity prices and tiered gas prices will increase a lot after a certain amount of use, then in fact, the cost of living of the majority of people will be increased invisibly. With the development of the times, people's living standards have improved, and more places use electricity and gas at home. This policy no longer adapts to the current electricity needs of urban and rural residents and the current era.

Some people believe that the previous payment system has seriously affected the happiness of life of this vast number of people, so it is recommended that the country can introduce policies as soon as possible to cancel the existing tiered electricity prices and tiered gas prices. Return the right to freely use electricity to urban and rural residents to meet their growing demand for electricity.
3. Is it feasible to change electricity payment?
Although the tiered electricity price may be unfair to some large electricity consumers, is it feasible to cancel the tiered electricity price?
Because once the ladder is cancelled, it means that there may be a unified price. The lowest and highest prices are removed and the average is taken.

Most ordinary households basically use the lowest standard. However, once unified standards are implemented, everyone's costs will rise, which will inevitably cause more dissatisfaction. Therefore, we should first pay attention to ordinary households, rather than focusing on some large electricity consumers.
Moreover, tiered electricity prices make it easier for people to develop a good habit of saving electricity. Once the price is unified, the price will be the same for those who use more or less, and the total amount will probably not differ too much, and people will not think of saving.

Summary
Maybe the tiered electricity price is indeed not suitable for the current era, but we must also seriously consider how to adjust and implement which plan. If the ladder system is really abolished, we should not be too optimistic in terms of implementation, as we will definitely suffer.
No matter how the adjustments are carried out in the future, we should all realize that environmental protection and energy conservation are really not just a slogan, but must be implemented by everyone. Whether it is electricity used by residents or businesses, energy conservation should be given top priority, and don’t waste it if you can.

Only by changing the consciousness can we truly achieve energy conservation and environmental protection. This will not only make ourselves rich, but also benefit future generations. Finally, I would like to discuss with you what do you think about this?
