[0002] Peak-valley electricity price is also called "time-of-use electricity price". It is a kind of electricity price system that calculates electricity charges according to peak electricity and valley electricity. Peak electricity generally refers to electricity use during the time when electricity supply is tight due to the concentration of electricity users, such as during the day, and the charging standard is higher. Valley electricity generally refers to electricity use during the time when electricity supply is sufficient due to the small number of electricity users, such as at night, and the charging standard is lower. Implementing peak-valley electricity price is conducive to prompting electricity users to stagger their electricity use time and fully utilizing equipment and energy.
