Reasons for the sudden surge of electricity charges in February.

In February 65438, the reason for the sudden surge of electricity charges was the cold weather, and the ladder electricity price was implemented.

On the one hand, the reasons for the sudden surge of electricity bill in June 5438+February include the cold weather, the increase of electricity consumption such as air conditioning, and the relationship between the increase of people's time at home and the increase of electricity consumption. The reasons for entering the third gear at the end of the year are also superimposed. During the period of 65438+February, due to the sudden drop of temperature, the electricity consumption load reached a new high, and the heating equipment of the majority of users was running at full capacity, which would lead to the increase of electricity consumption and electricity charges this month.

On the other hand, in order to promote energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon life, the state implements a step-by-step electricity price for residents' living electricity. 65438+February is the last month of this year. Due to the different electricity consumption of each household, the cumulative electricity consumption in the first 1 1 month may exceed 3000 kWh or 4700 kWh, and the settlement electricity price has reached the second and third grades. It may be that the electricity bill is higher than last month when the monthly electricity consumption remains unchanged.

Ways to reduce electricity expenditure:

1. You can check the daily electricity consumption through the online State Grid APP.

Monitor the growth of household electricity consumption at any time. According to the monthly electricity bill and daily electricity monitoring results, adjust the current electricity consumption habits. For example, when using the heater, you can adjust the temperature to a comfortable temperature for human body, without adjusting it too high, so as to avoid frequently adjusting the temperature of the electric heater and switching the heater frequently. The water temperature of the water heater is generally set at 50-60 degrees. When water is not used for a long time, it should be turned off in time to avoid repeated boiling.

2. Reduce the standby energy consumption of household appliances.

If the TV set-top box is not turned off for 24 hours, it may generate more than 80 kWh of electricity a year. Some temporarily unused electrical appliances can be unplugged to reduce energy consumption.

Step 3 buy energy-saving equipment

When buying household appliances, under the same conditions, you can choose goods with low energy efficiency. The lower the energy efficiency level, the lower the energy consumption and the less electricity consumption.

4. Rational use of peak-valley time-of-use electricity price.

If you turn on the peak and valley electricity, you can use household appliances such as washing machines, kettles and water heaters at night or in the early hours of the morning, effectively saving electricity expenses.
