Why is China's electricity so cheap?

为什么中国的电费如此便宜？

China's households now consume as much energy as Western Europeans do, while electricity costs in China are far below the prices paid by consumers in North America and Europe.

These developments were unthinkable just two decades ago, as China struggled, and often failed, to meet surging demand.

China's energy picture is daunting, and discouraging.  China still relies heavily on imports of oil.  And its giant population centers are in the East and South, while its domestic resources and production are concentrated in the West and North.

Begng in 2006, China embraced Ultra-High Voltage (UHV) power transmission systems, and included them in their national planning.  China's diplomatic and economic efforts involved deep ties with oil-producing countries, and their commitment to renewable power raised the ceiling on domestic energy production.  But UHV was equally crucial, and allows for Chinese citizens to now enjoy high-consumption lifestyles at far lower price points than in Western Europe, Australia, and Japan, and even most of the US and Canada.

中国家庭现在消耗的能源与西欧一样多，而中国的电力成本远低于北美和欧洲消费者支付的价格。

这些发展在20年前是不可想象的，以前中国努力满足不断飙升的需求，而且往往以失败告终。

中国的能源前景令人生畏。中国仍然严重依赖石油进口。其庞大的人口中心在东部和南部，而其国内资源和生产集中在西部和北部。

从2006年开始，中国开始发展特高压输电系统，并将其纳入国家规划。中国的外交和经济努力涉及与产油国的密切联系，这些国家对可再生能源的承诺提高了国内能源生产的上限。但特高压同样至关重要，它使中国公民能够以远低于西欧、澳大利亚、日本，甚至美国和加拿大大部分地区的价格享受高能耗的生活方式。

Because it’s not owned by blackrock and vanguard

因为他们的电力部门不属于贝莱德和先锋集团

In China, Electricity is public goods, in the West, is profitteering .

在中国，电力是公品，在西方，电力是暴利的。

Europe could be enjoying low energy costs, but they allowed the US to blow up their pipeline!

欧洲本可以享受低能源成本，但他们放任美国炸毁他们的管道！

Chinese state power grid is the best power grid in the world, period. No one could come even close.

中国的国家电网是全世界最好的电网，无人能匹敌。

Low electricity price is one of the reason why EV is so popular in China. If charged during the night, the running cost of an EV is like 5-10% of an ICE car for the same driving range.

低电价是电动汽车在中国如此受欢迎的原因之一。如果在夜间充电，相同的行驶里程，电动汽车的运行成本大约是内燃机汽车的5-10%。

I'm paying around 10$ USD per month In Shanghai, life is good ;)

我每个月付大约10美元电费，坐标上海，生活很美好。

This is what happens when you have a govt of tecnocrats not lawyers and politicians

他们的政府由懂技术的官僚组成，而不是由律师和政客组成

China is racing forward to a future where energy is virtually "FREE", and nobody in the West seems to comprehend the implications, much less the long term impact.  China is moving away from consumable energy in the form of oil, gas, and coal which must be constantly extracted, transported and lit on fire in favor of highly efficient renewable energy which is dominated by a one-time capital expense that keeps producing "FREE" energy as long as you maintain it.  The return on investment is surprisingly fast when whole of society system costs are factored, specifically the global warming, national security, and pollution.  That is, as China's renewable percentage increases, they reduce the future cost of remediating global warming effects on their oceanside cities, reduce the cost of protecting energy imports, and reduce the environmental and health impacts from pollution. Then there's the low cost aspect, which drives huge production efficiencies and further opportunities to lower cost via electrification and automation.  China already sees this in transportation, with electrified rail & bus public transit, personal NEVs, electric trucks and now electric inland container transport all powered by renewables for a low cost driverless future.  China's people and goods will automatically get from A to B without expensive human labor, simply due to their massive renewable energy surplus.

中国正在奔向一个能源几乎“免费”的未来，而西方似乎没有人理解其中的含义，更不用说长期影响了。中国正在摆脱以石油、天然气和煤炭为形式的可消耗能源，这些能源必须不断地开采、运输和燃烧，中国转向高效的可再生能源，这种能源需要一次性资本支出，只要你维持下去，就能持续生产“免费”能源。如果考虑到整个社会系统的成本，特别是全球变暖、国家安全和污染，投资回报会惊人地快。也就是说，随着中国可再生能源比例的提高，它们降低了未来应对全球变暖对沿海城市影响的成本，降低了维持能源进口的成本，并减少了污染对环境和健康的影响。其次是低成本方面，这可以提高生产效率，并通过电气化和自动化进一步降低成本。中国已经在交通运输领域看到了这一点，电气化的铁路和公共交通，个人新能源汽车，电动卡车和现在的电动内陆集装箱运输都是由可再生能源驱动的，以实现低成本的无人驾驶。中国的人和货物将自动从A地到达B地，无需昂贵的人力劳动，仅仅是因为他们拥有大量的可再生能源盈余。

Because in the western world, the shareholders are paid. And we the users get screwed

因为在西方世界，股东是有回报的，压榨用户

With the way China lights up the Cities there doesn't seem to be a shortage of Electricity

从中国点亮城市的方式来看，电力似乎并不短缺

Awesome report again! Central planning and single minded determination for forging the country's future. Be good.

中央计划，一心一意打造国家未来，很好。

THE AMERICANS STILL THINK THEY CAN TELL OTHER COUNTRIES WHAT AND HOW TO DO THINGS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES WHEN THEY CANNOT EVEN MANAGE THEIR OWN THEIR ARROGANCE IS DISGUSTING TO SAY THE LEAST

美国人仍然认为他们可以对其他国家发号施令，而他们甚至不能管理好自己的国家，他们的傲慢令人厌恶

Ascend77

These reports always underestimate the Chinese to already know these issues and the ability to navigate through them

报道总是低估中国人，他们已经了解这些问题并掌握解决这些问题的能力

I'm in Beiing with a family of five. Four air-conditioner installed and normal home appliances. Yearly electricity consumption is 3500 kw/h and 1800rmb/250usd.

坐标北京，五口之家，空调4台，家用电器正常。年用电量为3500度，共计1800元/约合250美元。

china govt has vision on clean energy and invest a lot on ining. Only 15% loss on electric from west to east! that is incredible and marvelous! Lower cost of energy can bring ppl livelihood more convenient and affordable!

中国看好清洁能源，并在新 疆进行了大量投资。从西到东，输电只有15%的电力损失！真是不可思议！更低的能源成本可以让人们的生活更方便、更实惠！

China’s massive electricity output from the 3 Gorges Dam, etc. When we talk about China, we talk about unimaginable economies of scale and size. Hence, the costs are lower.

中国从三峡大坝大量输出电力。当我们谈论中国时，我们谈论的是难以想象的规模经济。因此，成本更低。

barryshaw5660

China’s been working hard to catch up and surpass others in most everything.

中国一直在努力追赶和超越其他国家。

China is on whole different level than the US and fast moving far far ahead of us!

中国和美国处在完全不同的水平上，而且正在快速领先我们！

And they did not, not only without any help from the west, but sometimes with blatant opposition from them.

I'm just in awe of the Chinese nation.

他们不仅没有获得西方的任何帮助，而且有时还遭到西方的公然反对。

我对中华民族感到敬畏。

1985 Shanghai was a dark city

I asked why government owned cars turn their headlights off at night.  I was told it was to save energy

In 1988 standing on 10th floor of Phoenix hotel in ShenYang watched 1/4 of the city lose electricity.  They divided Shenyang into 4 parts and rotated outages each night

1985年，上海是一座黑暗的城市

我问为什么公家车在晚上关掉前灯，被告知这是为了节省能源

1988年，站在沈阳凤凰饭店10楼，看着四分之一的城市停电。他们把沈阳划分成4个区域，每晚轮流停电

mikep1831

Residential electricity price in China is about 10 cents per KW.

中国居民用电价格约为10美分一度电。

In 20 years, they won't need to import any oil, imagine how much money they can save after that...amazing.

20年后，他们可以不需要进口石油，想象一下他们能省下多少钱，太棒了。

larsnystrom6698

Long distance electric transfer is one of the keys to effective renewable.

In large countries like the USA and Australia, there's always sun or wind somewhere.

Unfortunatly, the USA are so inept building infrastructure,...

远距离输电是实现有效可再生能源的关键之一。

在美国和澳大利亚这样的大国，不乏日照充足或风力大的地方。

不幸的是，美国在基础设施建设方面非常无能…

China uses solar farm, nuclear plant. Solar farm is almost cost-free and generates a lot of electricity

中国使用太阳能发电厂和核电站发动。太阳能几乎是免费的，而且能产生大量的电力

BallyBoy95

Need countries to compete with one another in terms of economic progress, so that they can better serve their own populations. Rather than mercilessly and endlessly exploit them.

需要各国在经济进步方面相互竞争，这样它们才能更好地为本国人民服务，而不是无情地无休止地剥削他们。

I pay $30/m just for having the service line to my house where I live. Ridiculous.

我支付了30美元/米，仅仅是把线路连接到我住的房子，太荒谬了。

According to China Energy News, the combined length of the UHV transmission lines operating in China had reached 48,000km (30,000 miles) by the end of 2020, more than enough to wrap around the Earth by the equator.

据《中国能源报》报道，到2020年底，中国运行的特高压输电线路的总长度已达到4.8万公里（3万英里），足以绕地球赤道一周。

... and then the US decided to blow out some pipes under the baltic sea.

然后美国决定炸掉波罗的海下面的一些管道。

Electricity is the key to manufacturing, all of those machines need energy.

电力是制造业的关键，所有机器都需要能源。

coliv2

It helps that China is not sending big energy profits to pockets of a small number of companies, like the US does.

中国没有像美国那样，让巨额能源利润流入少数公司的口袋。

miguelbemquererful

China's biggest advantage is their capacity to reinvent their institutions and regulations to always transpose the next economic gap. This is only possible in a planned socialist economy, never on a chaotic capitalism

中国最大的优势在于，他们有能力重塑自己的制度和法规，从而总是能够扭转下一个经济差距。这只有在计划社会主义经济中才有可能，在混乱的资 本主义中是不可能的。
