Abstract

The rapid development of urbanization in China is coupled with the increase in per capital electricity consumption. This study focuses on the impacts of residents' income change and consumption tendency change on per capital electricity consumption in the process of urbanization in China. In this paper, LMDI method is used to analyze each factor's impact on per capital electricity consumption in the process of urbanization in China. The results show that income effect is the major determinant of per capital electricity consumption which is followed by population structure effect and electricity consumption effect; income effect in the urban regions is more than that in the rural regions; electricity consumption tendency effect in the rural regions is more than that in the urban regions.
