CAUSES OF ELECTRICITY CHARGES AND SOLUTIONS TO REDUCTION OF ELECTRICITY COSTS

Reasons for high electricity bills

Firstly: During hot weather, summer (when students are on summer break), most of the time, the number of devices that consume electricity increases compared to normal days (such as air conditioners, electric fans). , television...).

- The weather is cool, most households do not use fans/air conditioners or use very little time during the day.

- In hot weather, that fan/air conditioner is used (turned on) more time (many hours) than on a cool day.

This proves that, households do not increase the use of electrical equipment but increase the time of use leading to an increase in consumption output, electricity bills will increase.

Second: When the demand for electricity increases, the amount of electricity consumed increases, accordingly, the electricity bill for daily life will increase because the electricity price increases step by step (for example, when using less than 50 kWh, the price is equal to the price of electricity). VND 1,678/kWh; when consuming over 400 kWh/month, the selling price is VND 2,927/kWh).

Thirdly: Due to the influence of ambient temperature, architectural works, space to use electrical equipment, characteristics of electrical equipment, etc. have a great impact on power consumption of electricity (eg. For example: Heat absorption of concrete, masonry walls, greenhouse effect, lack of trees, installed equipment without power saving technology,…). According to analysis, when the outdoor temperature increases by 1 degree Celsius, the electricity consumption of the air conditioner (air conditioner) can increase by 2-3%, the temperature increases by about 5 degrees Celsius, the power consumption can be increased. can increase by about 10%.
