中国天然气价格改革刍议

从2015年4月1日起,我国非居民用存量气与增量气价格实现并轨,同时放开非居民直供用户天然气价格,中国天然气价格改革进入了一个新的发展阶段。在总结分析近年来中国天然气价格改革成果、天然气价格现状和存在问题的基础上,结合天然气价格市场化改革的国际经验和我国天然气产业的实际情况,提出了实现我国天然气价格市场化改革目标的实施路径和近期天然气价格改革建议。结论认为,要实现中国天然气价格改革的目标还任重道远.而近期则需要从以下几个方面的工作入手:①调整居民用气出厂价格,理顺其与非居民用气价格的关系;②完善现行天然气价格形成机制;③建立管输费和储气库费形成机制;④完善天然气价格体系,实行天然气差别价格;⑤推进天然气现货交易;⑥实行天然气能量计量和计价。

On natural gas pricing reform in China

Since April 1, 2015, for those non-resident gas users, the stock gas and incremental gas prices have been unified, at the same time, direct-supply gas prices have been released. This means that natural gas pricing reform has entered a new stage of development in China. In view of this, we first summarized and analyzed the achievements, status quo and existing problems of natural gas pricing reform in recent years in China. Then, we made an overview on the global natural gas pricing and marketing experiences and domestic situation in natural gas sector. On this basis, we presented the following proposals and implement approaches to ultimately achieving the market-oriented reform of natural gas pricing in China. First, the ex-factory prices for those resident gas users will be adjusted, which should be differentiated from those for the non-resident gas users. Second, the present natural gas pricing mechanism should be perfected with pipeline fees and gas storage fees being both added. Third, an integrated natural gas pricing system should be improved with differential prices implemented. Fourth, natural gas spot transaction should be promoted and energy measurement in gas metering and pricing should also be put into practice.
