中部地区崛起是我国区域发展的重大战略，近年来中部地区取得了明显的后发优势，随着我国进入高质量发展阶段，中部地区需要紧跟步伐、趁势而上，提升综合实力和竞争力。能源是经济和社会发展的基础，高质量发展需要以能源革命为支撑并建立高质量的能源体系。中部地区 5 个省份资源禀赋优良，但存在新能源发展潜力不足、能源生产量不足、供需不平衡等问题。本文阐述了能源革命推动中部地区崛起的内在机理，从经济、社会、生态 3 个维度着手分析，认为推动中部地区崛起的能源需求要有“量”“质”的提升，进而探讨中部地区能源革命中长期发展的总体目标。研究建议重点推进三方面工作：节能减排提升能效，促进绿色发展；发展多能互补技术，促进清洁能源消纳；加强能源省际合作，确保能源外部供应安全。结合中部地区的实际发展情况，提出了绿色低碳发展、供给侧改革、创新驱动战略、优化能源配置、多能融合等实施路径，以期精准助推中部地区崛起。

The rise of Central China is a major strategy for China’s regional development. In recent years, Central China has gained a notable late-mover advantage. As China enters the stage of high-quality development, Central China needs to keep up with this trend to improve its comprehensive strength and competitiveness. As energy is the foundation for economic and social development, high-quality development requires a high-quality energy system and should be supported by energy revolution. The five provinces (i.e., Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangxi) from Central China have excellent resource endowment; however, the new energy potentials and total energy production of these provinces are inadequate, and the energy supply and demand are imbalanced. In this article, we analyze the internal mechanism of promoting the rise of Central China through energy revolution, and conclude that the quality of energy consumption should be optimized in Central China to promote the rise of this region in terms of economy, society, and ecology. Moreover, the overall goal for the medium- and long-term energy development in Central China is discussed. To this end, Central China should promote energy conservation and emission reduction to improve energy efficiency and green development, develop multi-energy complementary technologies to promote clean energy consumption, and strengthen inter-provincial cooperation in energy to ensure the security of external energy supply. Specifically, several implementing paths are proposed including green and low-carbon development, supply-side reform, innovation-driven strategy, energy allocation optimization, and multi-energy integration.
