Performance Evaluation of Reducing Consumption of Energy in the Yangtze River Delta under the Background of Low-Carbon Economy by Chenguang Sun, Bo Miao

“…Through the analysis, the following conclusions can be drawn: the overall performance level of energy consumption reduction in the Yangtze River Delta region is average; the coordination between economy, energy, and environment is poor. Through the gray correlation analysis of energy consumption reduction performance, it is found that the current energy consumption structure plays a decisive role in reducing energy consumption; therefore, energy consumption coefficient, industrial structure, and government incentives also play a key role in reducing energy consumption.…”
