Abstract

The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region is the leading area of China’s reforms and opening-up. Promoting energy revolution in the PRD based on its local conditions is important for achieving the coordinated and sustainable development of economy, energy, and ecological environment in that region. This study analyzes the characteristics of energy supply and consumption in the PRD and discusses the challenges faced by the energy revolution in the PRD. Based on the requirements for energy transformation in the region, we propose some measures to promote the energy revolution and open development of the PRD. The PRD region should be built as a national base for oil and gas reserves and renewable energies by relying on the Belt and Road construction and the development of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area. Both the total quantity and intensity of energy consumption should be controlled in this region and energy technology innovation should be encouraged, thereby promoting the PRD development into a green, lowcarbon, and high-quality stage through the energy revolution.
