It is also an important research field to explore intrinsic regular pattern of electricity consumption and provide solving approaches. Firstly, this paper studies the relationship between electricity consumption and urbanization via GMM model by stages and regions. The results show that the most obvious stage of urbanization on electricity consumption is the stage between 1992-2000. The residents' income has an evident infl uence on electricity consumption of east region and industry also has generated stronger driving force in central and west regions. Then the paper analyzes the relationship between urbanization and electricity consumption by impulse function and gray correlation, and the variables of urbanization and industrialization both have various positive impulse effect. Estimating the gray correlation, central provinces with high population density and large shares of industry have high correlation degree in urbanization and electricity consumption.展开更多
