A Study on the Development Pathway of Electric Energy Substitution in Guangdong Province Based on Dual Carbon Goals and Regional Policies

Abstract

With the global energy transition and rising environmental awareness, electric energy substitution (EES) has emerged as a clean and efficient energy consumption model, crucial for promoting sustainable energy development. As a major economic powerhouse in China, Guangdong Province's implementation of its EES strategy serves as a demonstration model for regional green and low-carbon development. This paper conducts an in-depth study of the future development models for Guangdong's EES strategy. By analyzing the current implementation status, achievements, and existing challenges, key issues such as inadequate EES potential forecasting technology, limited policy support, and lagging technological development are identified. Consequently, strategies including optimizing the energy structure, improving supporting policies, and promoting technological progress are proposed to advance the in-depth implementation of Guangdong's EES strategy. This research aims to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for the formulation and optimization of EES strategies in Guangdong and other regions across China, contributing to the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system.
