Abstract

Green transformation and development is an important issue of global concern and one of the key paths for China’s high-quality economic growth. This paper, in combination with the national policies on green transformation and the relevant requirements of State Grid Corporation of China, constructs a green transformation and development index system covering three major dimensions: energy structure optimization, industrial greening, and terminal electrification, with 15 representative power indicators. Taking a certain province in central China as an example, the index weights are determined through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and then the index is synthesized and the process of economic green transformation is evaluated. The assessment results from 2015 to 2025 show that the long-term trend of economic green transformation is determined by the optimization of the energy structure, with terminal electrification providing a stable increment, while the change in the pace of industrial greening brings about phased fluctuations.
