Electricity price increases impact on power equipment

Following the nationwide increase in on-grid tariffs and sales prices, the Ministry of Finance, together with the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, issued a document recently. Since January 1, 2012, the renewable energy price surcharge has been increased from 4% per current kilowatt-hour to 8%. The future will still be adjusted according to the scale of renewable energy access.

According to an interview with the media, Shan Weiguo, director of the Institute of Energy and Energy Supply and Demand of the State Grid Energy Research Institute, said that the excessive increase in coal prices this year has caused greater pressure on power generation companies. Many thermal power generation companies have reduced their names by taking down inspections. The unit's running time, and the reduction of hydropower has made it more dependent on thermal power. Therefore, it is inevitable that the state will increase the on-grid tariff from the perspective of ensuring the supply of electricity in winter.

This is the third time since the beginning of this year. The starting point is to ease the pressure of high coal prices on the operating costs of power generation companies and to ease the large-scale electricity shortage in the country. However, objectively it has brought a major impact on high-energy-consuming enterprises and prompted the upgrading of power equipment. Replacement.

The NDRC raised the price of electricity on the one hand to cope with the tight supply of electricity in many places; on the other hand, it is also a concrete measure for the country to eliminate backward production capacity and promote energy conservation and environmental protection strategies. Shi Wei, director of the Industrial Development Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, once stated that “we use the leverage of the price to control more consumption of electricity by enterprises, and production companies and high-energy-consuming enterprises must pay for rising electricity prices”.

Major equipment manufacturers and component suppliers face problems such as diversification of profits and rising costs.

A new type of energy-saving transformer—amorphous alloy transformers are quietly growing up. In the next decade, the market size of amorphous transformers will reach 100 billion yuan.
