Why did the electricity bill surge in July?

In view of the sharp rise in electricity charges in July reflected by Guangzhou residents, Guangdong Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid preliminarily judged that the rise in electricity charges was mainly caused by two factors:

Reason 1: According to the statistics of the Meteorological Observatory, the warning duration of high-temperature orange in urban areas from July 14 to July 3 1 day exceeded 400 hours, breaking the record of the longest warning duration of high-temperature orange since 2006. As the temperature in July this year was generally higher than that in the same period last year, the electricity consumption of air conditioners in residents' homes increased accordingly.

Reason 2: Affected by the epidemic, residents' outdoor activities are reduced, their time at home is increased, and their electricity consumption will also increase.

It is reported that due to the continuous high temperature weather, Guangzhou's electricity load has hit record highs many times. As early as July 27th, the unified dispatching load of Guangzhou Power Grid reached a record high this year, reaching19.269 million kilowatts, which was 0.54% higher than the historical peak load (July 201916,000 kilowatts, 20 18, 2009). The data shows that in July this year, the social electricity consumption in Guangzhou increased by 25.39% compared with that in July 2065438+2009, and the household appliances that contributed the most were air conditioners.

Extended data

The price of electricity for urban and rural residents in Guangdong is divided into two standards:

The electricity price of urban and rural residents in Guangdong is divided into summer standard (May -65438+ 10) and non-summer standard (1-April,11-65438+February). Among them, the summer standard:

The electricity consumption in the first gear is 0-260 degrees per household per month, and its electricity price will not be adjusted;

The second electricity consumption is 26 1-600 kwh per household per month, and its electricity price is increased by 0.05 yuan per kwh;

The electricity consumption in the third gear is 60 1 kwh and above per household per month, and the electricity price is increased by 0.30 yuan per kwh.

In other words, the monthly electricity consumption is divided into three grades, and the price difference between the first grade and the second grade is only a few cents. But if the electricity consumption reaches the third gear, the electricity bill will be higher.
