The notice proposes to improve price guidance and regulation. Each region should fully utilize the leverage of prices, taking into account factors such as the implementation of capacity and production control policies, energy consumption and carbon emissions levels, and environmental performance levels. The current differential electricity price, tiered electricity price, and punitive electricity price policies can be merged and integrated into a unified differential electricity price policy. The additional cost per kilowatt-hour on the basis of market transaction electricity price should not exceed 0.1 yuan, and the additional electricity fees should be used to offset system operating costs.
