Nanjing subsidizes electricity charges for the poor to ensure safety in hot weather. Which groups can receive it?
According to statistics, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province has experienced a high temperature of 40℃ for several days. According to the local climate department, this hot weather will continue for some time to come. In hot weather, residents have to turn on electric fans and air conditioners for their own safety, but this will generate high electricity bills. As we all know, the electricity bills in these first-tier cities are relatively high, although most residents in the cities have enough ability to bear the high electricity bills. However, even in developed cities, there are poor groups. There are about 54,000 poor people in Nanjing, some of whom are low-income households and some of whom are scattered poor supporters. In hot weather, the high electricity bill is a big expense for them.
After learning about the practical difficulties faced by these poor groups during the visit, the relevant departments in Nanjing immediately took measures to subsidize the 65-degree electricity bill to these poor groups at one time. In addition, the poor groups in Nanjing have always enjoyed a monthly electricity subsidy of 15 degrees, so together, the subsidy is 80 degrees. For the poor, this subsidy is undoubtedly to enable them to use electrical appliances to cool off. Subsidizing electricity bills for the poor is a policy that benefits the people very much. Effectively solve difficulties for the masses and ensure that the extremely poor groups can spend the hot weather with peace of mind.
After fully investigating the public opinion, the relevant departments in Nanjing put the policy of benefiting the people in place, which greatly saved the electricity cost of the poor groups. The relevant departments not only subsidize electricity bills, but also provide cash living allowances to some low-income households. Relevant staff will also visit these poor groups every day to ensure that the poor groups can pass safely in hot weather.
