Compared with other developed countries, China's energy efficiency level is not optimal, but it has indeed made remarkable achievements in its long-term development, mainly due to efforts targeting the adjustment of industrial structure. This research, therefore, uses a spatial econometric model to study the energy efficiency of 30 provinces in China with data from the panel from 2004 to 2019, and studies the impact of industrial structure on energy efficiency from the overall sample, for different time periods and across the three regional scales of eastern, central and western regions. The following conclusions are drawn from the empirical analysis. (1) China's energy efficiency indicators have significant geographic spatial correlation and regional spatial structure differences. (2) In the full sample condition, the industrial structure has a positive impact on the energy efficiency of China's provinces, but it also shows a significant negative spatial spillover effect. (3) Industrial structure was positively correlated with energy efficiency from 2004 to 2011. (4) The industrial structure in the east promotes energy efficiency, while the industrial structure in the central and western regions inhibits energy efficiency improvement. (5) Government intervention and scientific and technological innovation have had a spatial impact on energy efficiency in China's provinces, while marketization and the average income of residents have had no significant impact
