Abstract:

Since 2008, the internal and external conditions of China's economic development have changed dramatically, and the government attaches great importance to the orderly transfer of industries and the optimization of productivity. In view of the existing situation that for a long time the technical means have not been enough to judge the trend of industrial transfer in China and relevant research conclusions are controversial, this paper establishes a method to evaluate the trend and scale of industrial transfer and undertaking by taking advantage of the electricity consumption statistics. Based on the calculation of power consumption by province and industry during 2010-2021, it is found that there is a certain scale of industrial transfer and undertaking between regions; environmental protection policies have a great impact on the industrial relocation in North China and Central China power grid; the scale of East China power grid's regional industrial transfer is less than expected, which may be due to the reason that the industrial transfer is mainly undertaken within the region; in addition to the increasing agglomeration trend of energy-consuming industries, textile, medicine, equipment manufacturing and other industries are transfering to the northwest power grid region; the regional industrial transfer types in China Southern power grid's region are more diverse and the scale is larger, mainly due to the influence of Guangdong Province. Combined with the research conclusions, relevant policy proposals are put forward.
