Core Viewpoint - The liquefied gas market in Ningyang County has undergone a significant transformation from chaos to a model of governance through systematic integration focused on safety. Group 1: Market Transformation - The liquefied gas market in Ningyang was previously characterized by fragmentation and safety hazards, with four individual filling stations competing chaotically, leading to illegal filling and inadequate safety measures [1][2] - Following the provincial gas safety special rectification initiative in 2023, Ningyang successfully integrated the four filling stations into Qilu Jinneng (Ningyang) Energy Co., Ltd., implementing a "one license, multiple locations" approach for gas operation permits [2][3] - The integration has restructured the market ecology, eliminating the phenomenon of cross-regional dumping and malicious price-cutting, while enhancing service quality [2] Group 2: Safety and Efficiency Improvements - The daily filling capacity of gas stations in the county has increased by 30%, and the average waiting time for users has been reduced by 40%, shifting the focus from "low price + hazards" to "efficiency + safety" [2] - A comprehensive regulatory system combining human, technical, and institutional defenses has led to the elimination of over 1,300 gas usage hazards, with illegal filling activities decreasing by 90% compared to before the integration [3] Group 3: Workforce Integration - The integration process included former "gas peddlers" into the formal system, utilizing their market familiarity and preventing potential opposition due to loss of income [3] - The newly integrated delivery personnel not only deliver gas but also serve as "policy translators," assisting restaurant owners with safety checks and fostering a sense of security among them [3] Group 4: Future Commitment - Ningyang County emphasizes that the integration is not the end but the starting point for long-term governance, with a commitment to continuously enhance gas safety and promote development [4]
