Report: In this year's government work report, it was proposed to lower the fees charged by the power grid and the prices charged for transmission and distribution, and reduce the average electricity price for industrial and commercial use by 10%. Recently, the state grid corporation of the initiative led by related departments, combined with the regional power grid and inter-provincial distribution electricity price reform, expand the inter-provincial electric power market transaction, in combination with deepening the reform of value-added tax to reduce the power grid enterprise tax burden, to lower the standard of national major water conservancy funds collection and other comprehensive measures will be taken to realize the price cut, mainly to adjust the distribution of electricity, implement QingFei policy and three types of hedge reduction and so on.
Against the background of power system reform, the power industry has gradually carried out "direct supply for large users", reform of the dispatching mechanism, "separation of transmission and distribution", "separation of distribution and distribution", "water and fire at the same price" and other pilot or preparatory work. The core disadvantages of the traditional power system are low efficiency and high cost, and the high cost is inevitably divided into the terminal sales price. The electric power system reform with the introduction of competition as the core aims to improve efficiency and reduce costs through market competition, thus reducing the price of electricity. For the public, the results of the reform mainly depend on whether the electricity price has been lowered, whether the electricity cost has been lowered, and whether the power grid enterprises have released dividends to other non-monopoly industries. In the electric power reform, the reduction of the electricity price should be the primary key factor to ensure that all kinds of users can get a lower electricity price.
From the perspective of domestic electricity price mechanism, the principle is cost price plus reasonable income. The ultimate purpose of this is to ensure that natural monopoly manufacturers can realize maximum social welfare under the premise of maintaining their own interests, and finally form the mode combining public welfare and commercial power service. Natural monopoly is a traditional concept in economics. In the past, it mainly refers to the form of monopoly that cannot be formed or is not suitable for competition due to the concentrated distribution of resource conditions. In modern jurisprudence, it is generally believed that natural monopoly refers to the monopoly generated by the natural conditions of the market
