Over time, power generation technology forms have diversified, including thermal power generation, nuclear power generation, geothermal power generation, tidal power generation, wind power generation, solar power generation, etc.

Electric power technology flourished in the second industrial revolution , which greatly promoted the development of social productivity. Over time, the forms of power generation technology have diversified, including thermal power generation, nuclear power generation , geothermal power generation , tidal power generation , wind power , solar power generation, etc. The ways in which humans obtain energy are becoming more and more diverse and environmentally friendly.

It can be seen from the figure that China's residential electricity prices are at a low level, while those in developed European countries are at a high level. There are two main reasons: First, the level of social and economic development. Second, the energy source itself is insufficient, and the cost of obtaining other energy sources is relatively high.

It is worth mentioning that in the early days of China's reform and opening up, residents often faced power outages and often had kerosene lamps at home. However, as the country deploys a number of major projects, develops water conservancy resources in the west, develops and utilizes coal resources in the northwest, expands international channels, actively develops new energy, utilizes nuclear energy, etc., it has developed unique global ultra-high voltage transmission technology. In recent years, residents have long been freed from the troubles of power outages, and the phenomenon of frequent power outages has been completely consigned to the memory basket of history. Over the years, prices have risen, but residential electricity prices have never increased.

Electricity is also part of the infrastructure. China's industrial electricity prices are also at a lower-middle level in the world. The stable supply and price advantage of electricity are also guarantees for my country to become the world's largest manufacturing country.
