「山西数百村民围堵市政府，抗议天然气价暴涨（2025.11.05）」山西介休的数百名村民，本周三聚集在市政府门前，抗议当地天然气价格突然大幅上涨，市政府大门一度被堵。
此次事件的起因，源于介休市推行的“煤改气”政策。宋古乡三道河村作为该市首个“禁煤村”试点，于2017年被介休政府以环保和推广清洁能源为由，拆除了所有燃煤供暖设施，并大规模安装天然气壁挂炉。当时，介休政府曾承诺多项补贴以鼓励村民配合：包括每户每年用气在1120立方米以内的，每一立方米补贴1元、壁挂锅炉补贴 4000 元以及开户管网补贴 2800 元。村民曾计算，在有补贴的情况下，使用天然气取暖成本低于传统燃煤。
然而，由于天然气价格的突然上涨，村民发现，他们已经承受不起冬季取暖费用。2025年10月22日，介休市发展和改革局和介休市住房和城乡建设局联合发布文件，将居民用管道天然气销售价格从 2.61 元/立方米上调至 2.97 元/立方米，并相应调整阶梯价格，最高达到 4.45 元/立方米，涨价幅度远超村民承受能力。
对此，村民异常愤怒，纷纷谴责政府当初以环保为名，强行“一刀切”拆除锅炉、禁止烧煤，如今却任由天然气费用大幅增加，让村民来承担高昂的清洁能源代价。一名村民在社交媒体上哭诉：“三道河老百姓活不下去了，过冬取暖成了大问题，根本不敢开天然气。”另有村民表示，去年冬季取暖支出就高达 5000 元，形容收费如“无底洞”。部分村民要求取消禁煤令，改用价格相对便宜的燃煤集中供暖。10月3日，村民曾前往乡政府抗议，但未获回应。
在10月5日的抗议现场，由于市政府保安禁止村民进入办公区，愤怒的村民随即围堵了市政府大门，高喊口号，要求取消不合理的天然气涨价政策。截至目前，当地市政府尚未就村民的诉求作出正式回应。
Hundreds of Villagers in Shanxi Surround City Government to Protest Soaring Natural Gas Prices (Nov. 5, 2025)
Hundreds of villagers in Jiexiu, Shanxi, gathered in front of the city government on Wednesday to protest the sudden sharp rise in local natural gas prices, temporarily blocking the main entrance of the government building.
The incident stems from Jiexiu’s “coal-to-gas” policy. Sandahe Village in Songgu Township, as the city’s first “coal-free village” pilot, had all coal heating facilities removed in 2017 by the Jiexiu government under the guise of environmental protection and promoting clean energy, while a large number of natural gas wall-mounted boilers were installed. At the time, the government promised various subsidies to encourage villagers’ compliance: 1 yuan per cubic meter for household usage within 1,120 cubic meters annually, a 4,000-yuan subsidy for wall-mounted boilers, and a 2,800-yuan subsidy for opening pipeline accounts. Villagers calculated that, with these subsidies, heating with natural gas would cost less than traditional coal.
However, due to the sudden increase in natural gas prices, villagers found themselves unable to afford winter heating costs. On October 22, 2025, the Jiexiu Development and Reform Bureau and the Jiexiu Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau jointly issued a document raising the sales price of residential piped natural gas from 2.61 yuan per cubic meter to 2.97 yuan per cubic meter, with tiered pricing adjusted accordingly, reaching a maximum of 4.45 yuan per cubic meter—a price increase far beyond what villagers could bear.
Villagers expressed extreme anger, criticizing the government for previously forcibly removing boilers and banning coal under the banner of environmental protection, while now letting natural gas costs rise sharply, forcing villagers to shoulder the high cost of clean energy. One villager lamented on social media: “The people of Sandahe can’t survive; winter heating has become a major problem. We don’t even dare to turn on the gas.” Another said that last winter’s heating costs reached 5,000 yuan, describing the charges as a “bottomless pit.” Some villagers demanded the cancellation of the coal ban and a return to relatively cheaper centralized coal heating. On October 3, villagers went to the township government to protest but received no response.
During the protest on October 5, because government security prevented villagers from entering the office area, the angry villagers surrounded the city government’s main gate, shouting slogans and demanding the cancellation of the unreasonable gas price hike. As of now, the local government has yet to issue an official response to the villagers’ demands.
