Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the Notice on Further Improving the City's Time-Sharing Electricity Pricing Mechanism and Other Related Matters, optimising the peak and valley hours of electricity pricing and the peak-valley price difference.

On 21 August, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform issued the Notice on Further Improving the City's Time-Sharing Electricity Price Mechanism and Other Related Matters, which adjusts the division of time slots and the peak-to-valley price ratio.

Time division. The peak and valley hours of the year are divided into peak, flat and low periods of 8 hours each according to the daily 24-hour period. Peak hours: 10:00-13:00; 17:00-22:00. Flat hours: 7:00-10:00; 13:00-17:00; 22:00-23:00.

Low-valley period: 23:00-7:00 the next day Among them, 11:00-13:00 and 16:00-17:00 in summer (July and August); 18:00-21:00 in winter (January and December) are the peak periods.

Peak to valley price ratio. Less than 1 kV single system of electricity consumption, the peak price on the basis of the price of the flat section of 71%, the low valley price on the basis of the price of the flat section of 64%; 1 kV and above the single system of electricity consumption, the peak price on the basis of the price of the flat section of 80%, the low valley price on the basis of the price of the flat section of 70%; two-part system of electricity consumption peak prices in the flat section of the price of the price of the price of the flat section of 60 per cent, the low valley price in the price of the flat section of the price of the basis of 60 per cent. The peak price of two-part electricity consumption is floated up by 60 per cent on the basis of the flat section price, and the trough price is floated down by 60 per cent on the basis of the flat section price. Peak tariffs are floated by 20 per cent on the basis of peak tariffs.

Qinghai Provincial Development and Reform Commission and Qinghai Provincial Energy Bureau Jointly Issued "Qinghai Provincial Energy Sector Carbon Peak Implementation Programme

August 23, Qinghai Development and Reform Commission, Qinghai Energy Bureau jointly issued "Qinghai Province, energy sector carbon peak implementation plan", proposed to accelerate the cultivation of new varieties of energy, innovative hydrogen energy and photovoltaic, energy storage and other synergistic development mode.
