Abstract

Energy welfare performance (EWP) reflects the efficiency of urban energy consumption and the contribution of energy consumption to the quality of life and the welfare level of the residents. There was an uncoordinated dilemma between the welfare level and energy consumption in the Yellow River Basin (YRB). Previous studies on the YRB paid more attention to the energy production or energy consumption, but less attention to EWP. Thus, the paper analyzed the spatial and temporal characteristics and the driving factors of EWP of YRB's 96 cities during 2010–2022 using spatial autocorrelation and the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index. The results demonstrated: (1) The EWP values were between 0.88 and 2.00; (2) The globe Moran's I exceeded zero, indicating a positive spatial connection. The area of higher EWP was adjacent to the other cities with higher EWP, which was mainly concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the YRB; (3) The technology effect had a positive impact on EWP. The service effect had a negative effect on EWP. The main driving factor of EWP was economic performance of energy consumption. The suggestions were put forward to improve the EWP and promote the high-quality development of the YRB.
