Abstract:

As a high value,low emissions,low-polluting green energy,natural gas has been under huge pressure of surging
market demand in recent years. As the scale and status of the industry depend largely on its pricing policy,it is necessary to
study the history of natural gas pricing mechanism and price changes in order to comprehensively deepen gas price reform and
to explore pricing mechanism under the new normal. Natural gas pricing in Sichuan has gone through four stages: government
pricing,“dual track”pricing,restoring government pricing and government guided pricing. The concept,composition,
classification of gas price and pricing mechanism are not the same at each stage. Exploring the history of natural gas price
adjustments and changes and summarizing the experience of natural gas pricing reform in Sichuan are of significance in further
deepening the reform of market-oriented gas pricing mechanism.

Key words: management system of natural gas prices, natural gas prices, pricing mechanism, the energy consumption structure,
natural gas price reform
