The State Grid announced yesterday that it will implement electricity tariff adjustments from June 1, and the specific range has not been announced. It is understood that the adjustment is a measure taken by the State Grid in response to the continuous rise in power supply costs in recent years. However, the adjustment of electricity tariffs still directly causes dissatisfaction among consumers.

According to the official notice of the State Grid, the main reason for the adjustment of electricity tariffs is the rapid growth of electricity demand in the mainland in recent years, and the continuous rise in energy prices, which has brought great pressure on the power supply costs of power enterprises. Population growth and urbanization are driving up electricity consumption for households and businesses. The adjustment of the energy structure needs to give "support" time to the development of new energy, and the high price of thermal coal has become a reality.
In response to these cost pressures, the State Grid has had to adjust its electricity tariffs. Although the State Grid explained that this adjustment will ensure the power supply capacity while also minimizing the actual burden on users, it is still difficult to hide the dissatisfaction of the people. Many netizens joked that the State Grid was "bragging again", and it was difficult to hide the ambition of this adjustment.
Some netizens questioned whether the State Grid was "testing the waters", and the day when the electricity tariff would be raised after June 1 had not yet arrived. There are also many netizens who have risen directly, saying that the electricity bill has risen again, which has become an inevitable "inevitability" in our daily life.
This electricity tariff adjustment is also really worrying. According to the forecast of industry insiders, the power supply cost of the State Grid will continue to maintain a rapid growth trend in the next 1-3 years. Coal prices are difficult to predict, and the new energy field still needs long-term "support". Electricity demand is also difficult to control, and the mainland's electricity consumption may exceed 8 trillion kWh in 2020, which will gradually amplify the cost pressure of power companies.
What is worrying is that with the mainland's "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" goals proposed, more financial support will be needed for the transformation and upgrading of the power industry in the future. The deepening of the power system to the smart grid and new energy connection, as well as the construction of a large number of energy storage projects, will make power companies face more unknown risks and challenges. This undoubtedly means that further adjustments in electricity tariffs in the next one or two years are inevitable.
The public's concerns are also legitimate, to a certain extent. As the electricity necessary for people's lives, its price directly affects the people's cost of living. Especially today, when many expenses such as rent and medical expenses are rising at the same time, the continuous increase in electricity bills will undoubtedly bring great pressure to family finances. Small and medium-sized enterprises are also facing a severe test of survival and development in the economic downturn.
The pressure on the cost of power supply faced by the national grid is indeed worthy of attention. However, the adjustment of electricity tariffs should also take into account the actual affordability of ordinary consumers. In the future, the State Grid should vigorously promote the reform of "electricity that is-pay" in the reform of the electricity fee mechanism, give heavy users an appropriate lower limit on electricity costs, and provide moderate discounts to light users.
Communication with all sectors of society should be strengthened to make the process of formulating electricity tariff policies more transparent and open. Only through the joint efforts of all parties can the rationalization of electricity bills and the balance between cost and service levels be achieved. At present, netizens still have questions about the specific adjustment of electricity bills on June 1. Some people jokingly say that this may be a "key battle" between the State Grid and the people.
Regardless of the outcome, the adjustment of electricity tariffs may become a difficult problem for the reform of state-owned enterprises in the new era. We hope that through an open and transparent attitude, the State Grid can give the society a rational and balanced answer. It is also hoped that the majority of consumers can face this problem rationally and work together to find a way out.
The adjustment of electricity tariffs involves two major aspects: national energy security and people's livelihood, and it may be difficult to achieve a one-size-fits-all balance between the two. However, we believe that as long as all parties participate in the discussion with a persistent and rational attitude, a relatively optimal solution will be found.
I hope that the State Grid can announce the specific adjustment details as soon as possible to cut off the "suspicion" of netizens. At the same time, it is also expected that it can adopt a hierarchical and differentiated price policy, taking into account the characteristics of different groups. As long as the process is open and transparent, I believe that the pressure on public opinion will be relatively reduced.
Regardless of the outcome, this tariff will be a milestone in the reform of our domestic electricity system. It may lead us to a more in-depth study of issues related to power restructuring and marketization, and better integrate the public welfare of state-owned enterprises with economic efficiency. I believe that with the leadership of the government and the joint efforts of all parties, we will definitely find a mutually beneficial and win-win answer.
Finally, no matter how complex the policy may be, we, as ordinary citizens, should also treat all parties with kindness and understanding. Only by valuing harmony and respecting each other can we promote the rational solution of problems. I believe that as long as we join hands, we will definitely get through this difficult time!
