What is the reason for the soaring electricity bill in Guangzhou in July?
Since the middle and late July, the high temperature in Guangzhou has continued. In July, most cities have entered a high temperature climate, which is unbearable and sweaty. According to the data of the Meteorological Bureau, in late July this year, the orange high temperature warning in Guangzhou exceeded 400 hours, breaking the longest warning record since 2006. With the orange high temperature warning, the electricity consumption in residents' homes will naturally increase sharply, and the electricity bill will naturally increase with the naked eye. After all, for the city of Guangzhou, turning on the electric fan in June is enough. From January to July, there is air conditioning during the day and night. Compared with last month, the bill amount is certainly terrible.
The cause of the epidemic has led to an increase in the number of residents staying at home. Although most residents can understand the soaring electricity bill in July, there is indeed a big gap in this year's data, and this pot can only be backed by the epidemic. Because of the epidemic, most residents go out less frequently, and many retired people live at home. With the decrease of outdoor activities and going out time, the time at home has obviously increased, and the frequency of using various electrical appliances has also increased. The most intuitive thing is the skyrocketing electricity bill.
Summer electricity price standard for urban and rural residents in Guangdong. Many cities have peaks and valleys, and the prices are different. Guangdong urban and rural residents are divided into summer standards and non-summer standards. In fact, May to 10 is the standard for summer. Summer standard, the monthly electricity consumption is within 260 degrees, and the electricity fee is not adjusted; Take 26 1-600 degrees per month as the second gear, in which each degree is increased by 0.05 yuan; Once the monthly electricity consumption exceeds 600 kWh, it is necessary to increase the price of 0.3 yuan. It can be seen that under such an increase, once the electricity consumption reaches the third gear, the electricity bill will change qualitatively.
To sum up, the surge in electricity charges in Guangzhou in July was caused by overheating. This year's social electricity consumption data in Guangzhou well reflects this statement. According to statistics, the electricity consumption in Guangzhou increased by a quarter in July this year compared with the same period of last year, which shows that the surge in electricity charges is a national phenomenon. ?
