Definition of switching power supply

Switching power supply refers to the behavior that power grid enterprises cannot directly supply power to end users and need to be switched by other subjects. Generally speaking, for various reasons, power supply enterprises do not install meters to households, do not read meters to households, and do not charge households. The electricity fee of the end user is not directly paid to the power supply enterprise, but to the main body of the switching power supply.

The "transfer power supply main body" pointed out in the document of the National Development and Reform Commission mainly refers to the main body that is powered by industrial parks, complexes, residential properties, office buildings and other self-use distribution facilities before the public power grid reaches the area, or the power supply enterprises do not directly supply power to residents' families.

"Transferred power users" refer to the end users who supply power through the power distribution facilities of the power supply subject, but have no direct relationship with the power supply enterprise.

Reasons for switching power supply:

The problem of switching to power supply has complicated historical reasons and has always existed with the development of China's power industry.

During the planned economy period, due to insufficient investment in the power industry, there was a widespread phenomenon of "emphasizing power generation over power supply", so social capital outside power grid enterprises invested in the construction of power supply and distribution facilities, which not only solved the problem of their own electricity consumption, but also assumed the power supply of other nearby users.

For example, industrial and mining enterprises use electricity for production, office and life, and enterprises build their own dormitories. The ongoing transformation and separation of "three supplies and one industry" is to solve the historical problem of enterprises changing from electricity to electricity.

After the reform and opening up, especially after the power system reform, the problem of switching to power supply has been partially solved.

For example, in the 1990s, the rural power grid was reformed, and all rural power grids were directly managed by power grid enterprises, and the "three households" management and the same price between urban and rural areas were implemented, which completely solved the problem of high rural electricity price when the township power management station switched power supply and increased price.

Around 2005, the transformation of "separation of electricity and electricity" solved the separation of production electricity and domestic electricity in some old enterprises, and the domestic electricity was directly supplied by the power supply company, which reduced the cost of production electricity and domestic electricity and reduced the burden on old enterprises and employees, with remarkable results.

Due to the division of investment and construction interfaces of power supply and distribution facilities, enterprises within the investment red line have built their own power supply and distribution facilities.

New subjects of power transfer have been formed, such as residential quarters, parks, complexes and office buildings. Power transmission terminal users have not enjoyed the direct supply service of power supply enterprises, and this power distribution subject is also the focus of this price reduction inspection.
