2013年11月，中国领导层决心在中国启动新一轮全面改革。中国共产党第十八届中央委员会第三次全体会议的重要决定明确反映了这一点，即赋予市场在资源配置中的决定性作用。要让市场发挥这一作用，正确的能源价格至关重要。自1984年以来，中国能源价格改革的总体趋势是向更加市场化的价格机制迈进，但不同能源品种的价格改革的步伐和规模有所不同。本文讨论了中国煤炭、石油产品、天然气和电力价格改革的演变过程，对这些能源价格改革进行了一些分析，并提出了一些可以进行改革的领域，以使市场发挥决定性作用，并帮助中国向低碳经济转型。
The Chinese leadership in November 2013 is determined to embark upon a new wave of comprehensive reforms in China. This is clearly reflected by the key decision of the Third Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of Communist Party of China to assign the market a decisive role in allocating resources. To have the market to play that role, getting the energy prices right is crucial. While the overall trend of China's energy pricing reform since 1984 has been moving towards a more market-oriented pricing mechanism, the pace and scale of the reform differ across energy types. This article discusses the evolution of price reforms for coal, petroleum products, natural gas and electricity in China, provides some analysis of these energy price reforms, and suggests that few areas of reforms could take place in order to have the market play that decisive role and help China's transition to a low-carbon economy.
