OFweek Smart Home Network News Since last year, the price of electricity has pulled down the curtain, resulting in a corresponding decline in the cost of living of residents. It is understood that only in 2016, the State Grid Corporation of China, which has taken several parallel actions, has reduced the cost of energy for users by more than 140 billion yuan. Yesterday, according to the State Grid Corporation of China, the city public utilities surcharges that have been continuously levied for half a century will be cancelled in the near future. This measure will cause China’s average price per kWh to drop by one point and 1 while referring to the national sales amount. In the future, it will save about 35 billion yuan in the cost of electricity for the entire society.
According to relevant personnel of the State Grid Corporation of China, the cancellation of the urban public utility surcharge was previously levied directly on the user, if it was combined with five other surcharges such as the national major water conservancy construction fund, the post-residential resettlement support fund, The rural grid loan repayment fund, etc. are calculated together, and the six additional fees directly levied will occupy 6% of the total electricity price.
As the user has to pay monthly rigid demand costs, the specific electricity prices have always been the focus of the people's concerns related to the people's livelihood, which also makes both the national level and the company's production areas, these years are more concerned about energy-saving appliances.
Taking Texas, for example, Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday and Water-Efficient Products Sales Tax Holiday are held every year, as long as users purchase air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines. Such household appliances with energy-saving signs (Energy Star) can be deducted at the time of settlement. Taxes and fees that are excluding dozens or even hundreds of US dollars are even greater. Some consumers said that because the tax exemption policy is limited to "energy-saving star" appliances, they will be more inclined to choose energy-saving appliances under the condition that their product features have no obvious differences in appearance, and they can not only enjoy the real-time benefits but also follow-up use. The electricity consumption can also be further reduced.
White goods such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners have been cited by consumers as "electric tigers" in the past because of their large power consumption during work. With the trend of high-end home appliances becoming more apparent, the white power market will usher in a number of quality consumer users who will pay more attention to the user experience. Weakening the “characteristics†of white electricity consumption is not only the needs of consumers, but also this era. Manufacturers made energy-saving and environmental protection requirements. In the path taken by White Power to energy-saving and emission-reduction appliances, the promotion role played at the national level is even more essential.
On October 1, last year, the “Limited value of power consumption and energy efficiency rating for household refrigerators†was formally implemented. Among them, the “improvement†of the energy consumption of refrigerators with different energy efficiency grades has made a new rule: the energy consumption of new energy efficiency products must be reduced by about 40% compared to the old energy efficiency products of the same class. . At the same time, the testing method for the power consumption corresponding to the new standard has also been changed. Compared with the previous way of judging the power consumption, this testing method places more emphasis on the actual energy-saving design and capability of the product during use. The resulting data is closer to the values ​​normally used in everyday life.
Since November 27, 2015, Beijing has implemented a subsidy policy for energy-saving and emission-reducing commodities ranging from 8% to 20% in the city. Among them, subsidized refrigerators and washing machines occupy 96 categories of their respective categories. % and 92%. Relevant statistics show that the energy-saving goods sold will save about 160 million kWh of electricity, equivalent to 49,910 households' electricity consumption for the whole year.
The consumer market also clearly clarifies the choice of energy-saving appliances. According to the data provided by Ovid Cloud Network, in 2016, the penetration rate of inverter refrigerators in the overall market continued to rise, reaching 53.9%, accompanied by an increase of 8.3% compared to the same period of last year, while washing machines equipped with inverter technology also had 10.2%. The penetration rate of retail sales has increased. The data provided by third-party data agencies also showed that in the first quarter of 2017, domestic consumers were more concerned about the first-class energy-efficient washing machines, and their proportion was 88.2%, far ahead of the 2.1% of the second-level energy efficiency.
According to industry analysts, the development of household appliances in the direction of energy conservation and environmental protection is already an irreversible trend, and the downward adjustment of electricity prices will also bring positive influence to users and manufacturers in the future.
