Electric or will fully implement the new price reform

Recently, people close to the National Development and Reform Commission revealed to the media that the relevant state departments have determined that they will implement the ladder price and ladder price reform in the civilian sector. This means that after the residents' ladder tariffs are solicited for one year, they will be put into practice; and the ladder price will also be pushed to the whole country on the basis of local pilots. Residents use electricity (gas) to implement “step-by-step progressive pricing,” and sub-unit pricing of electricity (gas) consumption by users, and resource prices increase progressively with usage. However, this reform is still an administrative regulation, and the government has not withdrawn from the pricing of resource products. Similar to the ladder price, the ladder price refers to the implementation of high gas prices after the residents exceed the basic consumption of natural gas every year or month. The above-mentioned person close to the National Development and Reform Commission explained that “at present, domestic gas prices are low, and the price-to-oil price relationship is unreasonable. With the increase in the proportion of imported gas, the price of natural gas has been forced to increase.” Gas industry associations also said that at present, domestic CPI Falling back is the time to rationalize the price of natural gas upstream and downstream. The National Development and Reform Commission, in principle, allows residents to adjust their gas prices, but needs to perform hearings and other related procedures. Local gas companies are choosing to increase gas prices. The gas price ladder is one of the options for rationalizing the price of natural gas.

[policy] Civil electricity ladder price reform is expected to start or difficult to resolve the contradiction between coal and electricity In October last year, the National Development and Reform Commission released a draft of the price ladder, has not been moving. Recently, some media reported that the relevant state departments have determined that they will implement the ladder price reform in the civilian sector. This means that: After a year of consultation on the residential ladder price, it is expected to be put into practice. At present, with the improvement of the people’s living standards, they have been spending more than 5 cents, which is very cheap for the vast majority of residents. Electric teapots, rice cookers, induction cookers, and electro-frying pans are widely used in urban and rural households. At the same time, too low electricity prices have made some high-income people use electric appliances lavishly.

[Interpretation] Ladder price versus time-of-use price In October 2010, the National Development and Reform Commission announced the "Ladder Electricity Price Reform Plan (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)", which provides two options for dividing the grade of electricity. After exceeding the basic electricity consumption every month, The electricity price increase is not less than 0.20 yuan. However, under the pressure of inflation, the residents' ladder price plan has been shelved. In May of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission raised the on-grid electricity price of coal-fired power plants in 15 provinces (cities) such as Shanxi Province. The sales price has been adjusted accordingly, but the price of electricity for residents has not yet been adjusted. At present, under the background of declining inflationary pressures, the overall price adjustment plan has once again been put on the agenda. Urban and rural residents' electricity consumption accounts for about 10% of the total electricity consumption in the society. In 2009 and 2010, they accounted for 12.5% ​​and 12.2%, respectively. Although the total demand is limited, it is closely related to people's livelihood. The CEPD electric power industry commented that “the ladder price belongs to the planned economy ticket management model, the intention is to “rob the poor” and the high-energy consumers pay high fees, but it is not appropriate to adjust the domestic power structure and ease the power peaks and valleys. Poor contradictions."

Water price mechanism centered on improving water use efficiency and promoting the sustainable use of water resources. On this basis, it is necessary to try to publicize the cost of water prices and implement a step-by-step water price and an over-quota cumulative price increase system through water price adjustments to actively and steadily push forward water price reforms. Specifically, it is to comprehensively consider the status of water resources and the affordability of various regions, properly formulate collection standards for various types of water resources, fully reflect the degree of scarcity of water resources in different regions, and build a comprehensive sewage treatment charging system in accordance with the polluter pays principle. ; Further improve the urban water supply price management.

[Shandong] The price of residential ladders or the implementation of a household and a meter next year will be completed This year, Shandong Province will complete the “one household, one meter” transformation of the power consumption of 2 million households in urban and rural areas. It plans to completely solve the “one household, one meter” power consumption in the province next year.

One-tenth of the country’s per capita water resources. Together with the implementation of the Jinan water-saving and protection spring project, the vast majority of Jinan's current drinking water is mainly purified surface water. According to the latest statistics, the average daily water consumption per capita in Jinan is 95 litres, while in 2010, the city’s urban residents used 10.173 million cubic meters of water, equivalent to more than 60 dams of Daming Lake. With the improvement of living standards, the average daily water consumption per person is expected to increase by about 5 litres in the next five years. This is equivalent to an increase of 30,000 tons of water supply in urban areas every year, and the water supply situation is bound to become increasingly tense.

[Inner Mongolia] promulgated policies such as stepped water prices to promote water conservation The reporter learned from the Department of Water Resources of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and other departments that since September this year, Inner Mongolia has implemented a series of policies such as stepped water prices to increase public awareness of water conservation.
