In order to ease the shortage of electricity supply in some areas, restrain the development of high-energy-consuming industries, and protect people's livelihood, the National Development and Reform Commission decided that since June 1st, the average price of electricity for industry, commerce, and agriculture in 15 provinces and cities has been raised by 1.67 points per kilowatt-hour. Money, but the price of electricity for residents will remain unchanged.
Of the 15 provinces and cities that increased their sales prices, Shanxi Province saw the largest increase in sales price, with 2.4 points per kilowatt-hour increase. Sichuan Province only increased 0.4 points per kilowatt hour, with the smallest adjustment. The Development and Reform Commission stressed that the current tariff adjustment does not involve resident users. As the electricity consumption of the residents does not increase, the tariff adjustment will not directly affect the general price level (CPI), and the indirect impact is very limited.
The 15 provinces and cities involved in this tariff adjustment include Shanxi, Qinghai, Gansu, Jiangxi, Hainan, Shaanxi, Shandong, Hunan, Chongqing, Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Hebei, and Guizhou. In addition, the Development and Reform Commission has increased the on-grid tariffs in 12 of the provinces since April 10. The on-grid tariffs in Anhui, Hunan, and Jiangxi have been raised since June 1. The on-grid tariffs in these provinces rose by an average of 2 points per kilowatt-hour. Among them, Shanxi raised 3.09 points, the lowest price adjustment was in Guizhou, and the on-grid electricity price per kilowatt hour was raised by 1.24 points.
At present, the price of coal in China implements a certain range of key coal companies to implement the agreed contract price between the supply and demand sides. The coal outside the contract will follow the market pricing mechanism, but the unified price control is strictly controlled by the state. In the case where the price of coal continues to rise and the price adjustment is not in place, many power companies are in a state of loss and no money to buy coal. The responsible person in charge of the price department stated that this time the price adjustment only considers the cost pressure brought about by the increase in coal prices, and does not consider the losses caused by the blind expansion of power companies and high energy consumption of power generating units.
In order to prevent coal companies from taking advantage of price hikes, the Development and Reform Commission has launched major inspections of coal prices. For enterprises that have discovered unauthorized price hikes, the Development and Reform Commission has asked these coal companies to refund overcharged prices. For companies that refuse to obey, their own development, the Development and Reform Commission said that they will order these companies not only to return related overpayments but also to pay a corresponding fine. The National Development and Reform Commission also stipulated that all regions must not provide electricity price concessions to high energy-consuming and highly polluting industries.
Due to the rapid growth in the production of high-energy-consuming industries in many provinces, the demand for electricity has soared. In addition, due to the reduction in hydroelectric power generation in some areas in the south, power shortages have occurred in many provinces in China. In this regard, Cai Zhizhou, a researcher at the Peking University National Economic Accounting Research Center, said: "Upgrading the price of electricity will help protect the power supply and curb excessively high energy consumption and high pollution."
Statistics from the power sector show that in the first four months of this year, China’s entire society’s electricity consumption soared by more than 12% year-on-year, and electricity consumption in the metals, petroleum, and cement industries rose even higher. Relevant departments and experts stated that according to the current expansion rate of high-energy-consuming enterprises, China’s coal demand will double in the next few years. It may appear that due to the limited railway capacity, there is no coal transportation, and even if it can be shipped out, the environment will be overburdened. The problem.
"Accelerating the transformation of development methods, curbing the excessively rapid growth of energy demand, and ensuring the sustainable development of the economy and society are urgently needed." The relevant person in charge of the pricing department said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters.
