Rising electricity prices are not closely related to "using oil for power generation." Our country does not have a large-scale oil-fired power generation situation.

What are the true driving factors behind the rising charging prices for AI?

【The increase in charging prices is not significantly related to “oil-fired power generation” — China does not have large-scale oil-fired power generation】Financial Associated Press, April 4 — Currently, there is no large-scale oil-fired power generation in China’s power grid. Data from the National Energy Administration shows that China’s energy structure mainly consists of coal, hydro, wind, and photovoltaic power, with oil-fired generation accounting for a very small proportion. The so-called “oil-fired power generation pushing up charging costs” is a misinterpretation of China’s energy structure. The feeling of “price increases” mainly comes from electric vehicle owners’ experiences with public charging stations. Since March 1 this year, for market-participating operators directly involved in trading, market-based dynamic floating pricing has been fully implemented, no longer artificially setting time-of-use electricity prices and periods. In areas where “time-of-use pricing” has been abolished, EV owners who do not promptly understand the new electricity price fluctuation patterns may mistakenly treat the market-adjusted peak or even sharp peak periods as the previous flat periods during time-of-use pricing, leading to the misconception that charging prices are rising. Additionally, some of the increase in charging prices is a normal transmission of operational costs, which should be viewed rationally. (Economic Daily)
