Research on the Spatial Differences and Influencing Factors of Energy Development in Guangdong Province

Abstract

Studying the spatial differences and influencing factors of regional energy development can promote regional sustainable development. This study uses the per capita electricity consumption of 21 cities in Guangdong Province in 2021 as an indicator to measure regional energy development and uses ArcGIS's natural discontinuity method, spatial trend surface analysis method, and spatial autocorrelation to study the spatial differences and spatial agglomeration of energy development in 21 cities in Guangdong Province, Finally, the geographically weighted regression model is applied to explore the various factors affecting the energy development of 21 cities in Guangdong Province. It is concluded that the energy development of 21 cities in Guangdong Province in 2021 has significant spatial differences and positive agglomeration, The energy development in the north-south and east-west wings is relatively weak, while the energy development in the north-south direction and the east-west transition zone is relatively strong. The coefficient of the level of industrial structure influencing factor is higher than that of the development of the digital economy, the level of scientific and technological development, the level of opening-up, the level of economic development, and other influencing factors.
