Resident's increase in electricity consumption reflects the problem of the pricing mechanism

According to CEC statistics, from January to September 2011, the country’s total electricity consumption increased by 11.95% year-on-year, and Guizhou Province’s electricity consumption increased by more than the national average, which was 12.26%. According to statistics from Guizhou Power Grid Corporation, From January to September 2011, the electricity consumption of residents in Guizhou Province was 9.654 billion kwh, an increase of 23.92% over the same period of last year (excluding residents of the grid company supplying electricity). What caused the dramatic increase in electricity consumption in Guizhou's residents? The reporter interviewed Huang Zexiu, an inspector from the Guizhou Electric Supervisory Office.

Reporter: From January to September, the electricity consumption of residents in Guizhou Province increased by 23.92% year-on-year. What caused this? Huang Zexiu: The first reason is the rise in coal prices. As for electric coal, in February of this year, there were individual places where the price of electric coal had risen to 900 yuan/ton. Generally, the price of electric coal was close to 500 yuan/ton, and electricity was the largest consumer of coal in Guizhou Province. In 2010, Guizhou Province produced 1.5954 billion tons of coal and 49.13 million tons of coal. The increase in the price of thermal coal directly led to the increase in the price of other coal. The price of coal for residential use was greatly increased, and the cost of coal used by the original residents was higher than that of coal. Some, after the Spring Festival this year, as far as I know, the price of coal for residents has risen to 1,000 to 1,500 yuan/ton. Statistics from the Guizhou Provincial Price Bureau show that as of October 25, the average price of coal used by the residents of the province was 1,5722.22 yuan per ton, which was a year-on-year increase of 65.27%, a 4.04% increase from the previous month. The second reason is that the price of electricity for residents in Guizhou is relatively low. The price of electricity for residents in Guizhou Province is 0.4556 yuan per kilowatt-hour.

Let’s calculate an account. According to the coal price of 1,000 yuan/ton, one kilogram of coal is one yuan. This kilogram of coal does not make a good meal. But one dollar can buy 2 kwh electricity, whether it is using electric stove or microwave oven and rice cooker, it is enough to make a meal. For residents, it is definitely the choice of electricity instead of coal.

Reporter: Do you think this phenomenon is reasonable? Huang Zexiu: This is a strange phenomenon. After the coal is mined, it is transported to the power plant to generate electricity, and then through many steps such as boosting, transmission, distribution, and substation, it increases a lot of losses before it reaches the end user—the residents. The direct purchase price of coal is still low, which indicates that it is definitely a problem in which link. I think it is a problem with the electricity price mechanism.

Q: What causes the high price of coal in Guizhou this year? Huang Zexiu: This year, Guizhou has three major characteristics: the off-season is not thin, flood season is flawless, coal power game.

In 2010, Guizhou Province put forward the slogan to develop Guizhou into a strong industrial province. The industrial production in Guizhou is thriving. This has also led to a persistently high electric power load. There has been no period of cyclical low electricity consumption in previous years.

After entering July, Guizhou suffered the most severe drought in the same period since the meteorological record was recorded in 1951. Since ancient times, Guizhou has relied on two rounds of water in the flood season, one is peach blossom water, which is spring water, and the other is Duanyang water. Dragon Boat Festival to the water. This year, Taohuashui and the Dragon Boat Festival did not come. The spring drought was even the summer drought, and the summer drought even the autumn drought. Therefore, this piece of hydropower needs to be completely offset by thermal power. At least 15 billion kWh of hydropower will be generated this year, and 7.5 million tons more coal will be used than in previous years.

At present, thermal power companies are in an unfavorable position in the procurement of electric coal. Because the on-grid electricity prices are low, and the price of transmitted coal is also low, power plants have absolutely no right to speak. Since the beginning of this year, the Guizhou Electric Supervisory Office has also been reporting coal power to the provincial government. Some time ago, the Guizhou Provincial Government adopted coal-fired price-limiting measures. Some coal-mining companies are not willing to supply coal at low prices, and they simply do not sell coal. Many coal-fired power plants simply cannot buy coal. The Guizhou provincial government has adopted an integrated, administrative and market approach to control the price of thermal coal. The situation has improved.
