A Study Of China's Electricity Price

The important status and strategic significance of resources determines a country's economic development and direction. Electricity, as a main form of energy utilization in modern production and life, must be an important control objects in the building of ecological civilization; electricity price, it is the specific study in the reform of the pricing mechanism. Price reform should be the first step in the power system. How to achieve electricity price rationalization, in the era of economic globalization, not only behind closed doors, but should be effectively evaluated with other countries in the global market compared to circumstances. Given this premise, this article started price level and the international comparison study appears significance. In this paper, qualitative and quantitative analysis, theoretical analysis and chart analysis of combining research methods, introduction to China and some countries in the price mechanism of China's electricity price level and the differences among the other countries, as well as electricity prices for the level of industry, the effects of the exchange rate, at last raised the corresponding response. This paper is divided into six parts:The first part, introduced the main topics on this background, purpose of the study and research significance of research methods and the basic thinking and logical structure. Writing the foreword of this paper helps readers to understand the direction and writing ways and means, but also the follow-up to commence this paper has laid a solid foundation.The second part is on price formation mechanism of the review, first introduced the function and electricity pricing principles. Then thread on the development in accordance with domestic and foreign, including the price formation 2 mechanisms (pricing) theory, the final details on the composition of the electricity cost structure. From the review we can see a lot of pricing methods, but bearing in mind that different national conditions, the applicable price mechanisms are different. The third part of the analysis and research seeks to lure issues, which carefully introduced our country's electricity price mechanism. China's electricity pricing mechanism where there are many imperfections, it is also a concrete analysis of the text after the price level and lay suggestions made to pave the way. Also on this part, several other major countries were compared pricing mechanism, which raises the International electricity price comparison below.The fourth part is the focus of this paper. A lot of data used to speak to China's price level to do with other countries and regions were compared. The first part introduced the way of exchange rate and the energy comparison, and then all of the exchange rate on the classification of users and the electricity transmission and distribution price digital charts, and compare the results and methods of application of the advantages and disadvantages of analysis. As for the energy comparison, the paper selected Shanghai as a sample to compare with other countries against the average level of the electricity price. However, no matter the exchange rate or the energy comparison, the conclusions reached in this paper are China lead a relatively low electricity price compared to other countries. How the electricity price effect China's economic, industrial development, people's lives. The next chapter gives answer.Part five is an explanation for the preceding part of the question, in order to answer specifically the level of the price for China's economic development. By introducing electricity consumption elasticity coefficient, shows that the electricity consumption, and economic development is an inherent link. In this concept, concrete analysis of the price level by the way of exchange rate, energy consumption, the impact of industrial development. The main viewpoints seeks to clarify that the low levels of electricity is not necessarily a good thing, on the contrary, low price and overall economic development will have an adverse impact on the cycle. This section try further explaining the intensity of this impact, cited nitrogen fertilizer industry because electricity price adjustments caused by fluctuations in the industry examples.Part six is the final conclusions of the earlier analysis concluded. Prices on how to proceed with further reform of the mechanism for price adjustment focus on putting forward policy recommendations. The international price comparison proposed price is designed to gradually merge with the world to the goal, this is to better participate in international competition prepared. Electricity transmission and distribution should accelerate reform and establish alternative sources of energy and can be linked to the price of dynamic adjustment mechanism; At the same time, should consider the basis of society as a whole benefits, introduced the policy of the transitional period.The main contribution and innovation lies: The paper on the International Comparison of the context of China's electricity price level with other countries and regions were compared, improving the way only in the domestic scope. On the very beginning of this article raised the significance of international price comparison. China's electricity price mechanism is proposed by the existing problems, which lead to the international comparison. In the application of the exchange rate of national and regional users of price classification level and the level of electricity transmission and distribution, the paper collected about 59 countries in the recent time data to illustrate the effectiveness of comparison, all the data from the Energy Information Administration, with authority and credibility, which also makes a quantitative study in this paper, it is much more accurate and reasonable. Comparison against the energy price level, the paper selected high standards in energy prices in Shanghai and the base of comparison with other countries. The final chapter proposed policy recommendations on the electricity price reform, reform measures and the corresponding methods of supporting the transition.
