Chinese Reform News Network reporter, before the reform, from the national development and Reform Commission, "since the two part tariff policy implemented for more than two months, there have been some achievements. August may reduce the user electricity expenditure more than 1 billion yuan, is expected to reduce production and semi production enterprises per year, electricity costs 15 billion yuan.

In June 30th this year, to support business transformation, reduce production, semi production enterprises electricity costs, reduce the operation cost of the real economy, the national development and Reform Commission issued a perfect basic tariff implementation of reform measures the relaxed policy conditions for adjustment of electric enterprise billing, volume reduction, suspension, the basic price billing cycle changes by annual adjustment change according to the season change, power users to choose according to the maximum demand discounts of basic electricity, the maximum demand value change from the current period approved by six months to adjust the monthly change, so according to the actual need to select the most favorable billing enterprise power users.

After the introduction of the policy, price departments in consideration of local conditions and formulate specific implementation requirements, supervision over the power grid enterprises through the power supply business hall and other channels to publicize and implement the new tariff policy two, simplify the two part tariff pause, volume reduction procedures, upgrading of meter reading and charging system, improve power supply service quality and efficiency.

According to statistics, in August the national total for the volume reduction, suspension and adjustment of the basic tariff billing standard business times an increase of about 5.7%, volume reduction, suspension of basic electricity charging capacity increased by approximately 4600 KVA, the user can reduce electricity costs more than 1 billion yuan. With the gradual implementation of the policy, electricity users to actively adjust the two tariff system, the implementation of the business volume will further increase. Improve the two department tariff operation mode, reduce production, semi production enterprises will pay more attention to the effect of electricity expenditure, the annual calculation is expected to reach 15 billion yuan.

The two part tariff by the basic price and electricity price, the basic price is fixed cost cost of power supply, and the user of a moment whether electricity, electricity is not directly related to how much, but with the user's power capacity or maximum demand; electricity price is the variable costs in the costs of power supply, electric quantity related with the user, how much money to pay for how much electricity.

The price department of the NDRC price department responsible person said, the power transmitted at the speed of light in the power grid, cannot be stored in large scale power production, must keep balance between power consumption, power goods on the "consumption" to "production". When the power users consume electric energy, they first take up the power capacity. For example, the air conditioner needs 2 kW of electricity capacity, and secondly, the electric energy is used. For example, the air conditioner lasts 4 hours and uses 8 degrees of electrical energy. Therefore, the power system should not only provide power products, but also have enough power generation, transmission and distribution capacity to guarantee the power demand of all users.

"If the capacity of the user exceeds the power generation capacity or the transmission and distribution capacity, it will affect the normal operation of the power system, and even lead to power failure. "The responsible person said that the electricity consumption volatility is very large, for example, when electricity demand peaks in winter and summer, often to the spring and autumn season, the trough period doubled or even more, and power system must be in accordance with the maximum power demand for construction, or in the peak period will appear brownouts, so electricity characteristics have great influence on the economy of power system. Generally speaking, under the condition of satisfying the same electricity consumption, the smaller the electricity the user occupies, the higher the efficiency of the whole power system, the lower the average electricity consumption.

According to reports, the two part tariff design is from the electric power production and consumption rules of users in the same demand incentive, as far as possible to reduce the occupation of the power and efficiency are on power generation, transmission, distribution, use and other incentive effect, so it has been widely used in the world. The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, the European Union and other major developed countries, as well as China's Hongkong and Taiwan regions, have implemented the two tariff system.

Data show that, at present, China's two tariff system is mainly applicable to transformer capacity greater than 315 thousand KVA of large industrial users, the basic electricity accounts for industrial users, the total electricity tariff is about 15%. The price range and proportion of the two parts of foreign countries are higher than that of China, and the basic electricity tariff accounts for 30%~40% of the total electricity consumption of industrial users.

It is reported that the next step, along with the electric power system reform, the two part tariff policy will continue to improve and refine, better play fair burden and promote the rational use of electricity, reduce the cost of the real economy, power supply side structural reform.
