The reform of "connecting" paving system of natural gas price
recently, the national development and Reform Commission issued a notice on rationalizing the price of the resident gas gate station (hereinafter referred to as notifications). From June 10th, the residents of the two tracks have been connected to the gas and non resident gas prices. The wholesale price of gas has gone up in two steps, and this year it will increase by 0.35 yuan per cubic meter. The further reform of natural gas prices is seen as a way to pave the way for the next step in the reform of urban gas management system. It is understood that in recent years, natural gas price reform step by step, but mainly focused on non resident gas, residential gas price reform is relatively lagging behind.
with the changing market situation at home and abroad and the deepening of the reform of non resident gas prices, the contradiction between residents' low gas prices is becoming more and more prominent. The head of the national development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said that the price of the resident gas gate station is lower than the non residents, and it is easy to lead to the gap between the supply and demand sides. In practice, the number of residents' gas consumption has become the focus of the dispute over the upstream gas supply enterprises and the downstream Gas Co, which affects the efficiency of the market and is not conducive to the government supervision. Under the
below, the NDRC proposed to rationalize the price of residential valve stations and improve the price mechanism. According to the notice, the gas from the highest gate station price management to the benchmark gate price management, the price level is connected with the price level of the non resident gas base gate station.
it is worth noting that, in order to reduce the impact on the lives of the people, the price of the gate station is not floating at the time of implementation, and has been allowed to rise since June 10, 2019. When the price is linked up, officials will also make up for more accurate compensation. The notice clearly stated that urban and rural low-income groups and the northern region of coal to gas families to give appropriate subsidies.
the executive Institute of the International Energy Research Institute of the national development and Reform Commission of the national development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the executive Institute of the International Energy Research Institute, said in an interview with the economic reference newspaper that the price of the resident gate was straightened out, and many problems caused by the double track system of residents and non resident prices were solved, and the impact on the residents was also limited and controllable. For the upstream enterprises, it improves the enthusiasm for production and supply of gas. For urban gas enterprises, the orderly intake cost and the reasonable guidance mechanism are conducive to the final solution of the cross subsidy problem. For the residents, the cost increases not much because of the small amount of gas, but for the low-income group, it can be passed. Precision subsidies eliminate the impact of price changes. In addition, the formation of the natural gas market price mechanism is conducive to the use of price leverage to regulate supply and demand, to improve the efficiency of the natural gas market, and to rationalize the price of the residents to use the valve station to help reform the city gas management system in the next step.
