Abstract :
Based on the theoretical principles of Kuznets hypothesis, this paper firstly proposes the Kuznets hypothesis of energy consumption. Empirical analysis in China´s 29 provincial regions shows that: The current situations of China´s provincial regions have not met the inverted U-shaped curve´s inflection of the energy Kuznets hypothesis yet. According to the relationship between Energy consumption and economic growth, there are three types of development model at the present stage. The different regional patterns need different corresponding policy.
