Abstract

Under the strategic background of “carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060”, the impact of energy policy on China’s industrial electricity demand is increasingly significant. This study focuses on the industrial electricity demand in Jiangsu Province, comprehensively considering the impact of policy and meteorological factors, and uses multivariate regression analysis to systematically explore the impact mechanisms of policy adjustments and climate change on industrial electricity demand. First, by analyzing the policy background and climate characteristics of Jiangsu Province, relevant policy and meteorological indicators are extracted, followed by a correlation analysis and the establishment of an industrial electricity multivariate regression prediction model. Finally, the evolution of the industrial electricity load in Jiangsu Province under different socio-economic pathways is forecasted. The results show the following: (1) Policy factors such as the electrification rate and self-generated electricity show significant correlation with electricity demand, as do meteorological factors such as temperature. (2) The future industrial electricity level in Jiangsu Province is expected to show a fluctuating upward trend, with industrial electricity consumption reaching 767.51 to 794.32 billion kWh by 2035. Accordingly, the forecast results are expected to guide future planning of the industrial electricity system in Jiangsu Province under the carbon neutrality scenario.
