Abstract:

NDRC requires that the ladder price system of gas for domestic use should be established in all the cities that have
been equipped with gas pipeline by the end of 2015. This is of great significance in advocating thrift in gas use，alleviating the
pressure of gas supply and in promoting fair distribution of social resources and the sustainable and stable development of gas
companies. Appropriate measurement cycle must be selected and reasonable ladder gas volume should be settled. This paper
maintains that the most appropriate measurement cycle for ladder gas volume is a quarter and the first leg volume should be
set between 150 cubic meters and 180 cubic meters. Scientific and reasonable ladder price of gas for domestic use should be
set on the principle of giving full play to the decisive role that market plays in the allocation of resources and better play of
government’s role.

Key words: gas for domestic use, urban gas, ladder price, ladder gas volume, measurement cycle
