National Development and Reform Commission raised electricity prices since December, as of December 5, Shaanxi, Shandong, Zhejiang, Hebei, Hainan, Anhui, Ningxia, Jilin and other provinces have announced 21 of its tariff adjustment programs. Reporters learned that, as a big power of the chemical industry, including preferential tariff policy had small fertilizer business, the price adjustment, not only by the policy is no longer "care" in some provinces actually increased the rate of electricity price increases .
The tariff rate and sales price increases were the largest of the provinces of Jilin and Shaanxi. Jilin Province provides: coal-fired power plants increased electricity price 0.03 yuan / kWh, higher than the national average electricity price increase rate of 15.38%; Shaanxi Province, the average sales price will increase 0.0408 yuan / kWh, higher than the national average value of 36%. Electricity price and sales price increase is the smallest, Anhui, were raised only 0.018 yuan / kWh and 0.0266 yuan / kWh, respectively, lower than the national average of 30.77% and 11.33%.
Price increases, the hardest hit with higher energy industry. For instance, Shandong electricity prices increase fertilizer production 0.0578 yuan / kwh, according to the province last year, 6.63 million tons of synthetic ammonia production calculated, the price increase, the fertilizer industry in Shandong Province will increase electricity costs 52 million yuan. The average sales price increased Zhejiang 0.034 yuan / kWh, while the energy-intensive aluminum, chlor-alkali industry, electricity prices were raised 0.111 yuan / kWh and 0.073 ~ 0.078 yuan / kWh. Price Bureau said the province will continue to implement differential pricing and punitive tariff policy, electrolytic aluminum, ferroalloy, calcium carbide, caustic soda, phosphorus, zinc smelting, cement, steel and other eight energy-intensive industries of the national industrial policy required to distinguish between out, restricted, permitted and encouraged enterprises, implementation of differential pricing.
The published price adjustment programs in 21 provinces of view, the average increase in electricity prices of fertilizer 0.0388 yuan / kWh, the equivalent of tons of synthetic ammonia increased costs $ 55. At the current annual production of 50 million tons of synthetic ammonia national estimates, will increase the cost of nitrogen fertilizer industry 2.75 billion yuan; calcium carbide, chlor-alkali industry, the average electricity price increase 0.045 yuan / kwh, industry, electricity costs increased 297 million yuan and 2.065 billion yuan . Produce 1 ton of aluminum consumption by 13,000 kwh basis, the price increase, will increase the cost of electrolytic aluminum industry $ 6.3 billion.
Experts pointed out that the price adjustment over control of energy-intensive industries for the blind development of the intent is clear, calcium carbide, phosphorus, high energy-consuming chlor-alkali industry, only to speed up structural adjustment and technological progress, through the development of recycling economy, as soon as possible per unit of product energy consumption down, in order to resolve the electricity price increases cost pressures and to achieve sustainable development.
