"I don't want to pay the electricity bill for this family anymore." Because of the implementation of the divorce agreement, Big S and her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei are in constant disputes. Yesterday, Wang Xiaofei appeared on the social platform again and sent angry messages to S's family many times in Weibo. Wang Xiaofei not only published a list of his expenses for family of origin in this year, but also mentioned that he paid the electricity bill twice.

Subsequently, related topics took the lead in rushing to the top of the hot search list.

In this expenditure list with a total value of more than NT$ 40 million, the author noticed that in just two months (July/1 February-September/12), Wang Xiaofei paid more than NT$ 90,000 in electricity charges, equivalent to more than one month's expenditure110,000 yuan.

People who eat melons can't help wondering, what level is the electricity price in Taiwan Province Province?

It is reported that the economic department of Taiwan Province held an interim meeting on June 27th to review the electricity tariff, and decided to increase the overall average electricity tariff by 8.4% in view of the electricity tariff from April to September. That is, from July 1, the new electricity price will rise from an average of NT$ 2.6253 to NT$ 2.8458.

If converted at this price, the big S family spent more than 33,000 kWh in two months. Many netizens questioned: Is this electricity consumption reasonable?

Generally speaking, the monthly electricity consumption of an ordinary family is about 500 degrees, and even the villa is about 2000 degrees at most. Moreover, the children of Big S are studying in Switzerland, which means that there are only three adults in the family, Big S, Jun-yup Koo and his mother. It is really incredible that they can use so much electricity in a month.

No wonder some netizens teased me that Jun-yup Koo was a DJ at home.

Bill from Weibo, Wang Xiaofei.

However, according to the analysis of people familiar with the matter, the cost of these two months belongs to the summer electricity bill. The mansion area of Big S is about 742.5 square meters, and the whole floor of the roof is the home of Big S.. However, the residential buildings where her home is located are generally full heat exchange, that is, no windows are opened for ventilation. In order to maintain the air quality in such a large area, the air conditioner must be turned on all day.

Secondly, when paying the electricity fee locally, it does not mean that the monthly electricity fee is calculated at NT$ 2.8458, but that after reaching a gradient, the electricity fee will be calculated in another way.

In this netizen's view, it is normal for such a big mansion to calculate the monthly electricity bill of over 10,000 yuan.

However, for Wang Xiaofei, looking at the unexpected electricity bill and Jun-yup Koo's "moving in with a bag", he didn't take the responsibility of supporting his family and raising his wife. Instead, he made his ex-husband a "big head", which no one could understand. No wonder Wang Xiaofei even said "I don't want to pay".

In fact, the upward adjustment of electricity price in Taiwan Province Province is an unavoidable problem. In summer, the electricity consumption is large and the temperature is high. The forecast of Taipower's maximum 40 million kilowatts this year is about to be broken, which poses a great challenge to the power supply. Previously, Taipower had not raised prices for four years. Taipower strives to raise prices, saying that fuel prices are "endless" and electricity prices must rise by more than 20% before they can return to their original cost.

According to the analysis of Taiwan media "Today's Weekly", since the beginning of this year, the global coal and natural gas prices have soared, resulting in a growing loss of Taipower. It is imperative to raise electricity prices. If the electricity price in Taiwan Province Province continues to be "frozen" and cannot reflect the rising fuel cost, Taipower may lose more than NT$ 654.38+050 billion this year.

However, Taiwan Province's "Ministry of Economic Affairs", which originally preferred not to raise electricity prices, also claimed that the global fuel price soared due to the conflict between and Ukraine, and the electricity price in Taiwan Province Province was quite low, so it was reasonable to ask for a price increase.

However, public opinion in Taiwan Province Province does not seem to "buy" the price increase.

The United Daily News commented that the Taiwan authorities' choice to raise electricity prices under the pressure of inflation will definitely make the price increase worse. Although only adjusting the electricity price of large electricity users does not seem to have a direct impact on people's livelihood, it will still be reflected in the terminal consumer price, and people still have to bear the pressure of rising electricity prices.

Another analysis article bluntly said that July 1 was only the first time to raise the electricity price, and it will be raised many times in the future. No one knows, but it will definitely be passed on to the whole people in the end.

In addition, the article in the United Daily News also pointed out that in the final analysis, the rise in electricity prices exposed the authorities' unrealistic energy policy: they want to "denuclearize" and have cheap electricity. This is simply "you can't have it both ways"

Chen Licheng, an energy expert in Taiwan, once pointed out that apart from the rising fuel cost, the most important reason affecting the power cost is actually the change of power structure. The proportion of cheap electricity decreased, while the proportion of expensive electricity increased. Democratic Progressive Party authorities' new energy policy focuses on "replacing nuclear power with green power" and "replacing coal power with gas power", both of which use expensive power generation methods to replace cheap power generation methods.

At present, Democratic Progressive Party authorities have admitted that the energy policy cannot be completed in 2025, and the goal of "non-nuclear home" may be delayed until 2027. However, the unbalanced energy policy will certainly create a new financial black hole in the next few years.

In Taiwan Province Province, anti-nuclear groups slogan "Power generation with love".

So, love really can't generate electricity.
