From Mop:
Is 87 kW·h enough for your use?
I heard that homes won’t be able to use more than 87 du [the amount of electricity used when the meter advances by one number, kilowatt-hour], if you use more that that you’re charged more! I ask whoever decided on that number, where did you come up with that standard? Has he calculated how many electrical appliances his house has! If he’s in his eighties and lives in the middle of nowhere, I guess we can forgive him for deciding on 87 kW·h.
Now let me tell him how much electricity a normal person uses in a month. Let’s use my house an an example: around ten lights of various sizes; two air conditioners; a computer, a rice cooker; an electric jug; a water heater, etc, I won’t include small appliances, and in actual fact I don’t use the air conditioner much. To the guy who decided on 87 kW·h, you work out how many kW·h I use in a month. These are appliances that any regular city dweller has, and I tell you brother, in a month I spend about 120 – 200 yuan, here I’m charged 0.53 yuan per kW·h, you work out how many kW·h that is. So, brother, don’t make it 87 kW·h. If you want to make money, don’t get it off us average Joes.
In today’s society, except for wages, everything’s going up, the price of housing, water, electricity, oil…, there’s another thing that isn’t going up, and that’s the stock market. Before, when the country was poor, all of that was really cheap, so why is it that now that the country is getting more and more rich, those things that are controlled by the state are getting more expensive? It should be cheaper, shouldn’t it? Why cheaper, because doesn’t the country have money now? Isn’t this socialism?
In the last few days the cost of electricity for industrial purposes went up, and it can be seen that the cost of electricity by the people can’t be far behind. When the price of electricity for industrial use went up, there were even promises made that the price of electricity for the people wouldn’t go up. Well, there you go, if there is anything Chinese people have are dirty/conniving brains. Actually, the main thing that I am angry with is, compared with developed countries, when the price of electricity used by industry was raised, they would say how this is how it is in developed countries too, that it is about this price too, and so on and so on.
The amount of electricity for the people is 87 kW·h, I heard an expert say that in Japan it’s 120 kW·h, in bangzi country [Korea] it’s 100 kW·h, so why do the Chinese get so little? Because the other countries are developed countries [and China is not]. Dammit, if we can’t compare to them, why is he comparing us? Every time prices go up, they compare us to other countries. Why? Chinese people can’t have their own ideas/standards [instead of comparing to others]. If I could use a brick to throw at that expert, I would throw my television too.

悲劇戲繹:
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) are all bastards, we won’t need to go online, we won’t need to watch TV, twenty years ago we used to all sing songs through the night.
溜小跑去拉萨:
Is this true?
八服赤眉刀:
Could it be that in two days there will be restrictions on water too?
流鑫三月:
I don’t know what to say…
东熙泽:
Contemptuous policy, a thinly veiled attempt to take people’s money,
1 party system
tragedy
是我，别开枪！:
Be careful of river crabs.
hometownboycn:
I think I don’t use very much electricity at all, but every month I use 150 kW·h.
不停寻找:
Not enough.
没毕业的小学生:
Such a small amount of electricity wouldn’t even be enough to power one of those little machines you see in A片.
孤单.旅行:
That definitely wouldn’t be enough. My house uses around a hundred kW·h in winter, in summer even more.
hj14174:
The NDRC’s main job is to increase prices.
But they call it adjusting prices.
路人527:
Motherfucking prices are going up everywhere, we really need to be brought in line with the international community.
那一天电闪雷鸣:
I intend to install another electricity meter, if that’s not enough I’ll get more!
最后的良知:
This is a rumour, actually each province will set standards according to its situation. LZ should read things in their entirety before starting rumours, this is another topic.
二月二十七:
I was watching a show on TV where they interview people on the street, they all agreed that “87 kW·h is enough electricity”, and I thought that they must all be hand picked or were told to say that.
闲阳无墉 :
My house uses 30 kW·h a month, nowadays the environment is so bad, natural resources so scarce.
If you want to use more (than the standard) you of course have to pay more.
不普通的普通人:
This is irrelevant to me, I’m poor, I don’t use more than 20 or 30 kW·h a month, I pay 8 or 9 mao per kW·h, Saving the environment starts with me.
喜欢宽额头的女人:
I understand this… whenever there’s something on TV about prices going up they start making comparisons with overseas… saying something costs x in such-and-such a country… but … why don’t they ever do such comparisons with regard to salary?
小深小深:
Rich country, poor people.
ted酷头:
87 kW·h would be enough for the fridge, washing machine and a few lights, you couldn’t even consider using a computer or air conditioning.

The goal isn’t to make money, it is to control the use of electricity, to get people used to saving electricity, does the LZ know what sustainable development is?
