Spatiotemporal variations,influencing factors,and configurational promotion paths of energy efficiency in China's cities

The promotion of energy efficiency(EE)helps address energy constraints and promote environmental sustain-ability.This study comprehensively explores the spatiotemporal variations,influencing factors,and configura-tion promotion paths of EE in 284 Chinese cities during 2003‒2019 using the global super-efficiency mini-mum distance to strong efficient frontier(G-S-MinDS),exploratory spatial data analysis(ESDA),multiscale geographically weighted regression(MGWR),and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA)methods.The findings are:① China's cities have an annual average EE of 0.658 with a growth rate of 0.53%,showing considerable promotion potential.② Industrial structure optimization,population agglomeration,economic development,and increased green coverage contribute positively,while government intervention and open-ness hinder China's urban EE.③ Four configurational promotion paths for enhancing China's urban EE are identified,where among those paths population density is a core condition,while government intervention is not.This study provides valuable insights into substantially improving urban EE,emphasizing the need for tar-geted policies to address energy and environmental crises in China.
