Nationwide reform plan to lower electricity bills
Print Edition
CHINA will expand its power-pricing reform nationwide in 2017 following a two-year pilot period in several regions to open the electricity industry, an official said yesterday.
The power transmission and distribution pricing system reform will be pushed forward for all power grids nationwide next year, said Zhang Manying, an official of the National Development and Reform Commission.
First rolled out in Shenzhen in 2014 and then introduced in five more regions last year, the reform aims to remove official interference in price determination and grant the market a decisive role.
The current controls on electricity prices allow state-owned power-grid companies to make unreasonably large profits and adds to the burden of users. Under the reform, the prices will go down.
Zhang estimated around 5.56 billion yuan (US$854 million) will be saved by enterprises in the five regions under the pilot.
The NDRC announced early this month that the reform will be expanded to 12 more provincial power grids and one regional network in 2016.
