Peng Shaozong, deputy director of the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission and a first-level inspector, said that the on-grid tariff for coal-fired power generation will be fully liberalized and the range of fluctuations will be expanded. Under the situation of tight power supply and demand, market transaction electricity prices may rise, which will be pushed to a certain extent. Increase the electricity cost of industrial and commercial enterprises.

If the market transaction electricity price rises, it will push up the electricity cost of enterprises, especially upstream production enterprises, to a certain extent, and have a certain effect on the price index of industrial producers.
