Smart meter peaks and valleys electricity prices are now questioned by power companies

Recently, a message on Weibo was widely reposted. The Weibo stated that "Shanghai adopts a time-shared price (after the late 10th hour when the valley electricity price is applied), but it must be turned off at 10:00 pm, etc. After 10 minutes, it will open again. To calculate the price of electricity in the valley, if it continues to be the full price, it will not automatically become the valley electricity price after 10 pm."

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Electric Power Company stated that the Shanghai Peak Valley differential electricity price has been implemented for many years, and the resident electricity meter will automatically switch to the Valley billing at 10:00 pm. At this time, the meter will jump green and the smart meter will be red. Allowable deviation within plus or minus 5 minutes.

The reporter telephoned 95598 and learned that the current peak-to-valley differential tariff for Shanghai residents is: From 22 o'clock to 6 o'clock the next morning, the electricity price in Guzheng is 0.307 yuan/kWh, and the rest of the time is the peak hour electricity price. 0.617 yuan/degree.

If the public has any doubt about the meter, they can apply to the local Shanghai Electric Energy Meter Mandatory Inspection Station entrustment point and jointly commission a mandatory inspection station with the power supply company to verify the meter. If there are still doubts about the conclusion of the verification, they may also apply to the regional/county quality and technical supervision bureau for arbitration.
