美日韩居民用电阶梯电价及其对我国的启示

Tiered Pricing for Household Electricity in US,Japan and Korea and Useful Insights for China

20世纪70年代石油危机爆发后,美国、日本、韩国等开始对居民用电实行阶梯电价。尽管美日韩居民用电阶梯电价的用电量档次及其价格不同,但都遵循多用电者多付费的定价原则,在促进节约用电的同时,保障了低收入居民生活。我国应借鉴美日韩实行居民用电阶梯电价的做法,发挥居民用电阶梯电价引导居民家庭节约用电、促进社会公平、保障低收入居民生活的作用。

Since oil crisis of 1970s,US,Japan and Korea started the tiered pricing for household electricity.Although with different grades and prices,tiered pricing systems in these three countries are following the same principle of ＂more electricity consumed more money charged＂,which safeguard low-income residents while saving power.China should take notes from US,Japan and Korea,and use tiered pricing system as a tool to guide residents to save power,to promote social equity and to safeguard low-income residents＇ living standard.
