"You don't have air conditioning in your home, why do you blow a fan?" 'That's not afraid of high electricity bills.
Such dialogues are believed to have been encountered by almost every household. Compared with the average price of electricity for every kWh spent by general residents, the commercial and industrial electricity prices are mostly around 0.8 yuan, and the cost pressure on enterprises can be considered. know.
It is precisely because of this that this year's government work report clearly stated that, in order to reduce tariffs and transmission and distribution tariffs for power grids, average commercial and commercial electricity prices will be reduced by an average of 10%. In response to the above objectives, the National Development and Reform Commission has made deployments in recent days to clearly implement price reduction measures in two batches. A batch of price cuts will be implemented on April 1.
The influence of such a favorable policy on the business is self-evident. As a reference case, the use of market-based transactions to reduce the tariff of large industrial electricity prices is a reference case: Liaoning Yingkou Zhongwang Aluminum used electricity of 6 billion kWh in 2017 and all participated. With market-oriented transactions, the electricity price per kilowatt-hour was reduced by 8 cents. In addition, the reform of transmission and distribution costs was reduced by 1.7 cents. The cost of electricity for enterprises was reduced by 580 million yuan in one fell swoop. It can be imagined that the general reduction in commercial electricity prices can also effectively promote 'cost reduction'.
Zhang Manying, inspector of the National Development and Reform Commission's Price Division, said at the press conference on the 19th that the implementation of the goal of reducing the average commercial electricity tariff by 10% would reduce the cost of industrial and commercial enterprises by more than RMB 80 billion. Among them, the first batch of price reduction measures involved an amount of 430. 100 million yuan.
The company will feel a drop in electricity prices early next month
On April 19, the website of the National Development and Reform Commission revealed that it recently issued the "Notice on Reducing the General Electricity Prices of Industrial and Commercial Enterprises" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice") and proposed to implement price reduction measures in two batches.
The reporter of the "Daily Economic News" noted that the first batch of price reduction measures mainly involved four specific measures: including the full implementation of the already introduced power grid clean-up policy; the promotion of regional power grid and inter-provincial cross-regional special project transmission price reform; further standardization and Reduce tariffs for power grids; temporarily reduce transmission and distribution costs.
In order to reduce the cost of electricity for enterprises, in recent years, the state has adopted a series of measures including the implementation of coal price linkages, the promotion of transmission and distribution price reforms, the promotion of electricity marketization transactions, and the cancellation and reduction of funds levied through electricity prices and their additions. Ministry of electricity price execution method, cancellation of small and medium chemical fertilizer price concessions.
This has also achieved remarkable results. Zhang Manying said that since 2015, it has managed to reduce the cost of the company's electricity consumption by 327.5 billion yuan.
However, the policy level is not satisfied with the results of the previous reduction in the cost of electricity used by enterprises. In this year's government work report, it was also proposed that 'general industrial and commercial electricity prices are reduced by an average of 10%'.
China's industrial and commercial users have undertaken cross-subsidization of residents and agriculture. Policy subsidies have, to a certain extent, distorted the formation mechanism of electricity prices, so that electricity prices cannot reasonably reflect costs. From the perspective of general electricity and electricity prices in China, they are generally higher than the agricultural electricity price. Electricity prices and large industrial electricity prices.
Zhang Manying said that the average national sales price level is 0.65 yuan per kilowatt-hour (per degree), among which the residential electricity price is 0.55 yuan/kWh, the agricultural electricity price is 0.48 yuan/kWh, the large industrial electricity price is 0.64 yuan/kWh, and the general industrial and commercial electricity price 0.80 yuan/kWh, the general industrial and commercial electricity price is the highest in these four categories.
'The average commercial and commercial electricity price will drop by 10% on average, which means that the price reduction will exceed 80 billion yuan.' Zhang Man-ying said.
To reduce the general industrial and commercial electricity prices, what aspects can be used? Zhang Man-ying pointed out that, including reducing the level of transmission and distribution tariffs in the power grid, as well as clearing and regulating tariffs for power grids.
Zhang Manying said that the first batch of measures had been issued in writing, involving a total amount of 43 billion yuan, starting from April 1. 'That is to say, some companies can feel the change in electricity tariffs when they pay the electricity bill in April at the beginning of May. The second batch of preparations for implementation in the second half of the year is now stepping up research and demonstration. When we are mature, we must announce to the public that the amount involved will be 40 billion yuan.'
The park's operating power grid can be transformed into an incremental distribution network
The first batch of price reduction measures announced in the notice include the full implementation of the proposed tariff clearance policies for power grids, the promotion of the reform of transmission prices for regional power grids and inter-provincial inter-district specific projects, further standardization and reduction of tariffs for power grids, and temporary reduction of transmission and distribution tariffs, etc. Four specific initiatives.
Among other things, in advancing the reform of transmission prices for regional power grids and inter-provincial and inter-district specific projects, the notice was proposed in accordance with the “Notification on Verification of Regional Transmission Grid Transmission Costs from 2018 to 2019” (Development and Reform Price [2018] No. 224) and “About Adjustments. The price of transmission from regional power grids and inter-provincial and inter-zone special projects approved by the Ningdong DC and other special projects 2018-2019 Transmission Price Notice (No. 225 of Development and Reform Price) will be reduced to reduce the transmission and distribution costs of the relevant provinces. .
In response, Prof. Lin Boqiang, Dean of the Energy Policy Research Institute of Xiamen University, told the reporter of the “Daily Economic News” that the approved fee reduction potential for the transmission prices of regional power grids and inter-provincial cross-district special projects is very large. It is conducive to long-term sustainable development.
In addition, it involves further standardizing and lowering tariffs and notification requirements in the grid sector and increasing the flexibility of the two-part tariffs. To improve the two-part tariff system, two-part power users can voluntarily choose to pay electricity fees according to the transformer capacity or the maximum contract requirements. You can also choose to pay the electricity charge according to the actual maximum demand.
Previously, the two-part tariff was the electricity price system implemented by large industrial power companies. In recent years, China has also continued to improve the two-part tariff. In 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the “Notice on Perfecting the Implementation of the Basic Electricity Price for Two-part Electricity Tariff Users. 》, It is required to relax the basic electricity price billing method change cycle limit, relax the reduction (suspension) deadline and so on.
This has also achieved positive results. Zhang Manying said that since 2016, because of various factors, some local companies have stopped production and half production has been suspended. There are more reflections on the collection of capacity tariffs based on fixed standards. The NDRC has issued a study to improve capacity. The policy on the execution mode of electricity prices stipulates that companies can apply for a reduction in capacity electricity prices according to their own circumstances. This piece involves funds of 15 billion yuan.
At present, there are places to explore the extension of the scope of implementation of the two-part system. For example, last year in Jiangsu, it has been clarified that commercial users of 315 kVA and above can voluntarily choose the two-tier peak-to-peak time-of-use price, or continue to implement the original general industrial and commercial and other electricity prices. .
The notice also proposed that the general industrial and commercial and other power sources that meet the requirements of the transformer capacity should be gradually selected to implement the two-part tariffs for large industries.
Lin Boqiang said that compared with large industrial enterprises, the number of general industrial and commercial enterprises that meet the two-part tariff standard is relatively small, and the effect may not be as pronounced as the large industrial electricity price, but it is common for industrial and commercial enterprises that meet the transformer capacity requirements. Said that will be able to enjoy the benefits of lower electricity prices.
In addition, the notice also proposes to comprehensively clean up and standardize the tariff items for power grid companies in addition to transmission and distribution costs. It will focus on clearing and standardizing industrial parks, commercial complexes, and other operators to provide various types of mark-ups to be collected by power users in addition to the country's prescribed sales price.
In this regard, Lin Boqiang believes that the extra costs attached to the electricity park by operators such as industrial parks are numerous and fragmented, and this policy is implemented as soon as possible to help clean up all types of unreasonable charges.
In addition, the notice also made it clear that the park's intranet power grid, which is operated by the industrial park, can voluntarily choose to transfer power to the power grid and directly supply electricity or convert it into an incremental distribution network.
In fact, at present, many cities are actively promoting incremental power distribution network pilots, which will become an important measure to reduce the cost of electricity for end users. In the industry view, the above-mentioned measures for the restructuring of power grids in the park have provided a large number of parks with incremental allocations. Electricity business to achieve 'regularization' provides a path.
