And that half a RMB doesn't include extra fees or delivery rates vs supply rates, correct? It's the all in rate?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "extra fees or delivery rates," but this is the total amount I pay for electricity, no additional charges.

In my state in the US, they started differentiating between a "supply" rate, as in who generated your electricity, versus a "delivery" rate, or who delivered the electricity. That way they can market the supply rates to you and charge you on delivery additionally.

Supply rates can adjust dynamically but not delivery, though delivery rates have been creeping upwards as well.
China's electricity pricing involves cross-subsidies. Residential and agricultural users pay the lowest rates, which are generally below the cost of supply. Commercial and industrial users pay more and contribute the most of grid revenue.
Prices vary by region: commercial electricity can approach 1 RMB (0.15USD) in Beijing, but the national average is about 0.67 RMB (0.1USD), while industrial electricity averages around 0.63 RMB nationally.
