I think the main reason is that the weather is slowly entering summer, which is the peak of electricity consumption. In addition, because of the heavy snow last year, many electric equipment are under maintenance, so it is understandable that the electricity price has soared by 111 times.
Although weather and equipment are the most important factors that affect the electricity price, I think the deeper reason is that the power generation enterprises in Texas are independent, not connected with other states in the United States, and their capital is profit-seeking. After they feel profitable, they simply don't care whether ordinary people can afford such a high electricity price. They only use one reason or another to raise the electricity price, regardless of the great impact on their lives after ordinary people don't use electricity. The most striking example is that last year, due to the surge in electricity consumption and the damage of some equipment caused by heavy snow, Texas not only did not ask the outside world for electricity to support it, but only took a negative approach. Instead of increasing the power generation, they blindly increased the electricity price, making many ordinary citizens unable to use ionization, which caused great trouble to their lives. This is the result of handing over electricity, an industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood, to capitalists.
from the very beginning, our country paid great attention to the development of electricity in the whole country. At a very early time, every village was electrified, especially the guaranteed supply of electricity. Whenever there is a power failure, our country will send professional technicians to restore it quickly, and our electricity price is very cheap compared with other countries. So that our people won't worry about the lack of electricity, and because all our electricity is state-owned, they won't consider the cost at all, only the convenience of the people.
So I think I should be proud of the development of our country. It is precisely because our country has made such development achievements that we can live such a happy life now.
