Why is the pipeline natural gas in Chenzhou so expensive?

? Domestic pipeline natural gas per cubic meter is 2.28 yuan in Beijing, 2.45 yuan in Changsha, 2.5 yuan and 4.5 yuan in Chenzhou. ? In the past few days, our news hotline has received many calls from citizens, reflecting that the gas price in Chenzhou is surprisingly expensive. Some citizens also told reporters with invoices that since 20 10, residents who use pipeline domestic natural gas have been using such high-priced gas.

Coincidentally, the reporter found in related posts that the problem of natural gas has been a hot topic from 20 10 to now, and related net posts come out every month. Some people complain that the population of relatives in Changsha is as large as my family, and the monthly cost is only half of my family's. I am speechless! ? The gas price in Chenzhou should be the highest in the country. Is Chenzhou with high income or pure natural gas? Nobody asked and nobody cared? ?

Why is the price of domestic natural gas in Chenzhou pipeline so high?

Citizen: It's nearly twice as expensive as Changsha.

On April 7, the reporter went to the home of Liu, a resident of Qixing Garden Community on Nanling Avenue. She told reporters that it has been 1 many months since natural gas was opened at home, but they still use induction cookers to cook and boil water at home, only occasionally using natural gas. The reason is that natural gas is too expensive. ? Pipeline natural gas is more convenient than canned liquefied gas, but it is too expensive to use, even more expensive than electricity. Now, basically, I won't use it unless there is a power outage. ? Liu said.

Like the Liu family, a resident surnamed Li in Qixing Garden also opened natural gas. He also bought a 20-square-meter gas card. After using it several times, he thought it was too expensive, so he changed to an induction cooker for cooking. ? It's convenient to use, but it's expensive. We used to buy a can of that kind of gas, which lasted for half a month and cost more than 90 yuan. But now 4.5 yuan/m3 of natural gas is more expensive than liquefied gas! ? Residents surnamed Li said.

What puzzles many citizens even more is that the price of natural gas reported on Changsha TV is only 2.45 yuan/m3, while the price of natural gas they use is actually 4.5 yuan/m3, with a difference of nearly 1 times.

Enterprise: the gas source is liquefied compressed natural gas, and the tanker is transported from Xinjiang, which has high transportation cost.

Why is the domestic natural gas price of Chenzhou pipeline nearly twice as expensive as that of first-tier cities such as Beishangguang and Changsha? With questions from residents, the reporter interviewed Li Xuan, financial manager of China Resources Gas Chenzhou Branch.

Li Xuan told reporters that China Resources Gas's collection of domestic natural gas from 4.5 yuan/Cubic Pipeline was approved by Chenzhou Municipal Price Bureau. 4.5 yuan/Cubic gas price has been collected in Chenzhou for many years, and enterprises have not charged citizens at will. Why is the price of pipeline domestic natural gas in Chenzhou nearly twice as expensive as that in first-tier cities such as Beishangguang and Changsha? Li Xuan explained that the gas source used in Chenzhou is liquefied compressed natural gas (LNG), and the gas source used in first-tier cities such as Beishangguang and Changsha is compressed natural gas (CNG). West-to-East Gas Transmission? Gas source (gas), because? West-to-East Gas Transmission? The gas source is to transport gas to the destination city by pipeline, and the ex-factory price of natural gas transported by pipeline is relatively low, so the prices of first-tier cities such as Beishangguang and Changsha are cheap, and the liquefied compressed natural gas source must be transported from Xinjiang to Chenzhou by tanker. Due to the long transportation distance, high freight rate and higher transportation cost than gas purchase cost, the purchase price of natural gas in Chenzhou is higher than that in surrounding cities.

Municipal Price Bureau: Transportation costs lead to high gas prices.

The price of domestic natural gas in our city's pipeline is nearly twice as expensive as that in first-tier cities such as Beishangguang and Changsha, and a staff member interviewed by the price department of the Municipal Price Bureau also seems very helpless. He said that the masses have great opinions on gas prices, and complaints and cross-examinations are received online and on the phone every year. As a price department, it has also done a lot of explanation work. But the price of 4.5 yuan per cubic meter is set by the government. The gas price in the surrounding cities is really around 2.5 yuan/m3, but that is? West-to-East Gas Transmission? The gas source comes directly from the pipeline, while the gas source used in Chenzhou is liquefied compressed natural gas (LNG), which is transported from Xinjiang by tanker. The operating costs of production, compression, loading and transportation are relatively high, and the sales price has been low. It is the common aspiration of the government, citizens and gas supply enterprises to supply high-quality and low-cost pipeline natural gas, and it is also the development direction of the city. At present, the municipal government, relevant departments and gas companies are actively striving for higher-level governments and relevant departments and units, and the work is progressing smoothly. West-to-East Gas Transmission? Engineering natural gas is expected to be opened to Chen, and citizens can also use lower-priced natural gas.
