Guangdong has entered summer in an all-round way
Tiered electricity prices for residents
"Summer Mode" from May
The monthly electricity consumption of urban and rural residents in Guangdong is divided into three levels, and the electricity price is increased in three grades, and is divided into summer standard (May to October) and non-summer standard (November to April of the following year).
Why are there two standards?
According to the "Notice on Issues Concerning the Trial Tiered Electricity Price for Residential Electricity in Our Province" (Yue Price [2012] No. 135), considering that the summer weather in our province is relatively hot and the electricity consumption of air conditioning is large, the electricity is divided into summer standards and non-summer standards, and the summer standards are implemented from May to October each year, and the non-summer standards are implemented in the rest of the months.
How is the electricity bill calculated?
Calculation method of tiered electricity price: total electricity cost = electricity consumption of the first level x electricity price of the first level + electricity consumption of the second level x electricity price of the second level + electricity consumption of the third level x electricity price of the third level
By comparing the summer standard and the non-summer standard, we can conclude that the price remains the same, what changes is the power standard of the grade, and the non-summer standard is easier to "cross gears".
Under the same electricity consumption, the cost may be different due to the different standards of summer and non-summer electricity levels.
For example, the electricity consumption of Lao Li's house in Guangzhou in April and May was 600 kWh. According to the formula, it is calculated:
In the case of the same 600 kWh of electricity consumption, the standard electricity tariff in summer is lower than the standard electricity tariff in non-summer. However, it is necessary to pay attention to saving electricity, and under the same standard, the less electricity is used, the lower the electricity bill.
A guide to saving electricity in the summer
air conditioning
- In summer, the set temperature of the air conditioner should not be too low, as the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large and affects your health, and it also consumes a lot of electricity. It is advisable to set the temperature of the air conditioner to 26°C, and it is recommended to turn on the sleep function of the air conditioner at night.
- The filter screen and evaporator in the air conditioner should be cleaned regularly, and a large amount of dust adheres to the surface of the evaporator, which affects the refrigeration efficiency and increases the power consumption.
refrigerator
- It is advisable to store 80% of the food in the refrigerator, as too much or too little food will increase the power loss.
- Never put hot food directly into the refrigerator, as this will overburden the refrigerator and increase power consumption.
washer
- Accumulate enough laundry before opening the washing machine, and avoid washing small amounts of laundry multiple times.
television set
- Too much volume and brightness of your TV will consume power, so turning it to moderate can save power.
- Turn off the power of TVs, set-top boxes, computers, etc. when not in use to reduce standby power consumption.
