Notice of the Shaanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission on the time-of-use electricity price policy for residential electric vehicle charging piles

Shaanxi Development and Reform Price [2023] No. 1487

Development and Reform Commissions (Bureaus) of all prefecture-level cities, Hancheng City, and Yangling Demonstration Zone, State Grid Shaanxi Electric Power Co., Ltd., and all incremental distribution networks:

In order to accelerate the improvement of the time-of-use electricity price mechanism and better guide electric vehicles to charge during low-peak hours of the power system, in accordance with the "Notice of the National Development and Reform Commission on Issues Concerning Electricity Price Policies for Electric Vehicles" (Fagai Price [2014] No. 1668) and the "Notice of the National Development and Reform Commission on Further Improving the Time-of-Use Electricity Price Mechanism" (Fagai Price [2021] No. 1093) and other documents, the following notice is hereby issued on matters related to the time-of-use electricity price policy for residential electric vehicle charging piles.

I. Scope of Implementation

Electricity consumption at electric vehicle charging stations installed in residential homes, residential communities, and non-residential users who pay residential electricity prices is directly read by power grid companies and charged to households.

2. Time Division

Peak hours: 7:00-23:00, off-peak hours: 23:00-7:00 the next day.

3. Electricity Price Standard

Based on the electricity price standard for non-residential users who implement the residential electricity price, the peak electricity price will be increased by 0.05 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and the off-peak electricity price will be reduced by 0.2 yuan per kilowatt-hour. The peak electricity price of Shaanxi Power Grid (excluding Yulin area) is 0.5609 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and the off-peak electricity price is 0.3109 yuan per kilowatt-hour; the peak electricity price of Shaanxi Power Grid (Yulin area) is 0.5473 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and the off-peak electricity price is 0.2973 yuan per kilowatt-hour.

IV. Relevant requirements

(I) In principle, the electricity consumption of residential electric vehicle charging piles should be measured by separate meters for each household. For residential electric vehicle charging piles where the power grid company directly reads the meter and charges the household, the time-sharing electricity meter will be installed and replaced free of charge by the power grid company.

(II) All local development and reform departments and power grid companies should do a good job in policy publicity and explanation and effect tracking to ensure the smooth implementation of the time-of-use electricity price policy for residential electric vehicle charging piles.

This notice shall be implemented from October 1, 2023. Please report any situations or problems encountered during implementation to our Commission in a timely manner.
