Abstract

Controlling total energy consumption reasonably is a vital task for the 12th Five Year Energy Plan. It has important meaning for energy conservation to build the index system of effect factors on total energy consumption. This paper analyses problems in influence and variations of total energy consumption in Henan Province, extract eight indexes which have certain effects, and the data during the period from 1978 to 2004 is analyzed by using principal component regression analysis using SPSS19.0 statistic software. The experimental result reveals that the factors related with economy development are the major driving force of total energy consumption; the increase of secondary industry proportion will lead to a considerable growth in total energy consumption; in addition, total population and urban proportion growth promote the growth of total energy consumption as well.
