两部门就完善省内天然气管道运输价格机制提出指导意见

Core Viewpoint - The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration have issued guidelines to improve the pricing mechanism for domestic natural gas pipeline transportation, aiming to promote high-quality development in the industry [1][2]. Pricing Authority and Scope - Pricing authority for domestic natural gas pipeline transportation will be determined by provincial development and reform departments, with no further delegation of pricing authority [1]. - Existing cross-provincial natural gas pipeline systems will not have repeated pricing by provincial departments [1]. Pricing Model - A unified pricing model will be implemented, transitioning from "one line one price" and "one enterprise one price" to either zonal pricing or a province-wide unified price [1]. - The transition aims to align with the pricing mechanism of cross-provincial natural gas pipelines, contributing to the formation of a "national network" [1]. Price Level Determination - The guidelines emphasize the need for scientific determination of price levels, including unified pricing methods and principles, reasonable pricing parameters, and clear price regulation periods [1]. Pipeline Planning and Management - The guidelines call for optimization of pipeline planning and investment management, reduction of supply chain costs, regulation of market order, and strengthening of implementation [1].
