Residential Electricity Prices Will Be Fully Promoted In The Year.

In February 28th, the national development and Reform Commission revealed that

In December 1st last year, the NDRC introduced comprehensive measures to control the price of coal and electricity, and issued the guiding opinions on the trial price of electricity for residential consumption.

According to the guidance, the monthly electricity consumption of urban and rural residents is divided into three levels: basic electricity demand, normal and reasonable demand for electricity and higher demand for quality of life.

The NDRC has requested that all regions should choose pilot areas that meet the requirements and conduct pilot projects in a comprehensive way.

After the formation of the pilot scheme, the price hearing can be implemented.

According to Zhou, the main contents of the reform of the resource price during the year include: steadily pushing forward the reform of electricity price, carrying out the trial bidding and direct trading, strengthening the cost constraints on the power grid enterprises, and gradually establishing a scientific and reasonable mechanism for the pmission and distribution of electricity prices, and organizing and implementing the implementation plan of the local people's ladder price.

We should improve the formation mechanism of refined oil prices, shorten the price adjustment cycle, improve the operation mode of price adjustment, and enhance the pparency of the operation of the mechanism; organize and implement the pilot project of natural gas price reform in Guangdong and Guangxi, appropriately straighten out the price relationship between natural gas and alternative energy, encourage local governments to actively explore the policy of stepped gas price and study a relatively low price method for low-income groups.

Judging from the decision-making level, Zhou Wangjun's position is nothing more than reiterating the task of reform.

In March 2011, the National People's Congress deliberated the "12th Five-Year" plan outline clearly put forward, "actively promote the reform of electricity prices, further improve the formation mechanism of refined oil prices, straighten out the relationship between natural gas and alternative energy."

Those close to the NDRC said, "the content of the reform referred to in the 12th Five-Year plan will be gradually implemented in recent years.

At present, some reform programmes are being worked out.

Price reform must be a slow, gradual process. Our country will not take the Russian shock therapy.

Electricity price, oil price and gas price will be reformed in three major areas, and then will be promoted to the whole country.

Since the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the signal of resource price reform has been continuously released.

The central economic work conference, the national development and reform conference and other high specification meetings clearly put forward the reform of the price of resources products, and the key areas and paths of reform are in line with the above contents.

Recently, Li Keqiang, vice premier of the State Council, wrote in the magazine "seeking truth" that we should deepen the resource products.

Market pricing is the ultimate goal of the price reform of resource products. When will the reform plan be implemented to test the wisdom of decision-makers?

Experts in the oil field suggest that the oil price reform be launched as soon as possible.

An expert from the Energy Research Institute of the NDRC said: "under the background of soaring international oil prices, residents have already had certain psychological expectations for the price increase of products brought about by the reform of resources and products.

This is the favorable condition for price reform.

But we still need to consider the social and economic conditions comprehensively and choose the reform plan.

There has been consensus on reform, but there are still divergent views on all sides in the reform path.

Taking the reform of refined oil prices as an example, the NDRC intends to delegate the pricing power of refined oil to the oil enterprises, that is, oil companies can adjust their prices independently under the established rules, without approval from the NDRC.

However, this idea was unanimously opposed by oil companies, and the timing of decentralization was not mature.

The reason given by oil companies is: "at present, the price is in arrears, and the oil import and export trade has not been completely liberalized. The competition among enterprises is not enough.

It is difficult for enterprises to make independent pricing, and it is not easy to be accepted by public opinion and consumers.
