Abstract

In order to explore the relationship between the digital economy and China's household green energy structure and utilization efficiency, an empirical test is conducted based on the data of 31 Chinese provinces from 2015 to 2022 using a two-way panel fixed-effects model as well as a coupling model. The results show that the digital economy has a significant positive effect on household green energy structure and utilization efficiency; secondly, this paper focuses on the bi-directional relationship between the two, and finds that the overall coupling situation is good, and the digitalization level and household green energy utilization efficiency in the regions under the "inverted triangle" pattern are highly coupled. The study finds that the overall coupling is good, and the digitalization level and household green energy utilization efficiency in the "inverted triangle" pattern are highly coupled. This study provides a reference for accelerating the national energy transition, boosting China's digital economy in the reverse direction, and providing green and digital kinetic energy for realizing the overall high-quality development of the economy.
