Nowadays, almost every household needs to turn on the air conditioner, and electricity consumption has increased sharply.
Faced with the huge electricity gap, while civilian electricity was guaranteed, the electricity for factory production had to be abandoned.
The clothing factory where my aunt Sun Yuegui works also temporarily announced that it would suspend production, so she has been resting at home these days.
As soon as the news came that the residential area had restored 14-hour power supply, the owners of the community in the city were instantly excited:
"4-1209 is slacking off: It's too hot, the power finally came on! I'm going crazy from the heat! I want the air conditioner on 24 hours a day!"
"2-1908 Coconut Tree: It's not entirely true. Our factory has stopped operating. Now many factories have stopped operating and can no longer produce."
"4-2009 Sister Ni: If you want to stop, then stop. Which is more important, work or life? You have to stay alive first!"
“2-1908 Coconut Tree: That’s not what I meant. Once the factory stops operating and there is no output, the prices of all goods will probably go up.”
"3-1007 Qiqi, mother of two: Really? Then I need to stock up on some diapers and milk powder for my kids. Actually, the price of milk powder has gone up a while ago. People say that the cost of raising cattle is much higher now. Oh, I can’t afford milk powder any more."
"5-1706 Ah Dian: Pfft, you guys believe that? The economy has been in a downturn in the past few years, and factories have excess capacity. A large number of products have been produced but cannot be sold, waiting for people like you who hoard goods to take over. Still hoarding goods, have you used up the salt you hoarded during the SARS outbreak and the masks you hoarded during the epidemic?"
"2-1908 Coconut Tree: @5-1706 Whatever, it's up to you. I'm going to stock up anyway. Our factory is shut down, so I'm not going to work anyway. It's been so hot these few days, so I can just stock up on some rice and flour so I can stay at home and not go out."
“…”
"Shi Ge, should we put away the generator in the basement? I heard that gasoline and diesel are very expensive now. Now that we have electricity, it is cheaper to use electricity than to burn oil." Sun Yuegui suddenly asked.
She is a person who cannot sit still. After resting at home for two days, she felt unwell all over.
Xia Guocheng has been helping the property company install and repair home appliances these days and has been assigned to work there. Xia Huiyin is running a supermarket and received a considerable dividend this month.
Seeing that everyone in the family is busy, Sun Yuegui is also busy and cleans the villa every day. Just now, after she finished filling the oil for the generator that supplies nine freezers in the basement, she was a little amazed at the terrible amount of oil consumption of this thing.
"No need to charge, aunt. The electricity price is also going to go up." Xia Shige replied.
My aunt was stunned: "How do you know? I didn't see the property management told me."
Then she picked up her phone to check the news, and actually saw the news about the government’s electricity price adjustment, which was released a few minutes ago.
In fact, Xia Shige hadn't seen the news, but she remembered that in her previous life, after the 14-hour power supply was restored to the residential area, the government issued a notice to increase electricity prices.
After the power supply was restored in the residential area, everyone turned on the air conditioner. However, the drought greatly reduced the power generation of hydropower, and the power gap was still too large. In addition, the energy price rose, and the cost of thermal power generation also increased significantly.
Faced with various difficulties, the government raised the charging standards for the first and third tiers of electricity charges. The first tier remains the same as before, but the unit price of the first tier has increased by dozens of times, and the third tier has even increased by hundreds of times.
In Xia Shige's previous life, he lived in the Lu family. The Lu family consumed a lot of electricity. They used the central air conditioner, jacuzzi, and outdoor cooling system without restraint. As a result, the electricity bill reached hundreds of thousands in a month.
Even in ordinary households, if electricity is not saved, it will be easy to get an electricity bill of tens of thousands of yuan.
This was the case in my previous life. Later, because there were too many people who could not pay their electricity bills and evaded the bills, the power supply company could only limit the power supply to these people. They would not directly cut off the power supply to leave no way for them to survive, but would only give them the first quota of electricity every month to barely ensure that they would not be killed by the heat.
So everyone had to start using electricity frugally. Set-top boxes, routers, electric water heaters, etc. were all turned off when not in use, and lights were kept on if possible, leaving all the electricity quota for refrigerators and air conditioners.
