Recently, a screenshot of "Has the price of electricity in Shanghai increased" was circulated on the Internet platform.

The poster said with certainty, "Shanghai's electricity price has increased", and also stated that the price increase started in December last year.

However, in recent months, Shanghai has not released any news related to the adjustment of electricity prices for residents. Therefore, many netizens asked the Shanghai rumor platform, is this true?

　　The Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission responded that the news spread on the Internet was not true.

At present, neither the country nor Shanghai has adjusted the residential electricity price level, and Shanghai residential users continue to implement the residential electricity price catalog promulgated and implemented in 2012.

　　After inquiry, in the current electricity price table for households in Shanghai, the residential users with one household and one meter increase step by step, among which the untimed electricity price of the first tier is 0.617 yuan per kWh, and the time-of-use electricity price is 0.617 yuan per kWh during peak hours , 0.307 yuan per kilowatt-hour during valley hours; the second-tier non-time-sharing electricity price is 0.667 yuan per kilowatt-hour, the time-of-use electricity price is 0.677 yuan per kilowatt-hour during peak hours, and 0.337 yuan per kilowatt-hour during valley hours; The time-of-use electricity price is 0.977 yuan per kWh during peak hours and 0.487 yuan per kWh during valley hours.

The relevant data is completely different from what is claimed in the screenshots posted on the Internet.

　　The State Grid Shanghai Electric Power Company also stated that after verification, the description in the screenshots posted on the Internet was seriously inconsistent with the reality.

At the same time, the State Grid Shanghai Electric Power Company has not received relevant notices from government departments on the adjustment of electricity prices for residents.

　　The Shanghai Rumor Repelling Platform also learned that according to national regulations, adjustments to residents' electricity prices and other livelihood expenses need to be announced in advance.

The Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the "Notice on Matters Concerning the Publication of Electricity Price Policy Information in this City" issued in February 2019. It is clear that "the formulation and adjustment of relevant electricity price policy information such as the electricity sales price of electric power users in this city will be at least one electricity bill in advance. The period (usually one month) will be announced to the public through the website of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission.”

　　It can be seen that there is no phenomenon of online price increases without informing the public.

　　The Shanghai Rumor Repelling Platform also learned that the rumors may be related to some residents' discovery of high electricity bills in December.

However, after analysis, this is related to the increase in electricity consumption caused by multiple factors: Affected by the epidemic in December, residents stayed at home for a longer period of time, and electricity consumption increased; the cold wave continued to invade, and the heating power consumption of air conditioners in residents' homes increased sharply; residents' electricity bills escalated Some residents stayed at home for a long time in the first half of this year, which led to the electricity consumption in December entering the third tier. The electricity bill in December was calculated according to the third tier of electricity bills, so there was an increase.

If you have any questions about the electricity bill, you can call the State Grid customer service hotline 95598 for consultation.
