The weak link of ecological civilization construction in China lies in rural areas. Rural energy revolution plays an important role in promoting ecological civilization construction in rural areas and implementing the strategy of rural revitalization. In this paper, the current situation of energy consumption and production in rural areas in China and the main problems facing it are summarized, and the vast rural areas in China are categorized into developed suburban rural areas, underdeveloped traditional rural areas, and remote rural areas, according to economic development levels, resource endowment, and energy consumption. Furthermore, typical paradigms and implementation paths for ecological construction based on rural energy revolution are proposed. Developed suburban rural areas is recommended to conduct overall planning, improve their facilities, and interact with urban areas to realize energy interconnecting.The underdeveloped traditional rural areas is recommended to take measures according to local conditions, employ multiple energies, and prioritize energy conservation while focusing on efficiency. The remote rural areas is recommended to exploit energy resources in a concentrated manner and focus on external delivery, thus to satisfy energy consumption and demand. This study is hoped to provide references for energy revolution and ecological civilization construction in the rural areas in China.
