Optimal electricity distribution of 'three innovations' manufacturing enterprises under China's peak carbon strategy.

China's carbon peak strategy constrains industry's carbon footprint, limiting the total amount of electricity production from coal burning, rendering electricity a relatively scarce resource and affecting manufacturing enterprises' production and operation activities. To address these circumstances, this paper applies a non-cooperative game model to describe the electricity resource distribution and product production process under enterprises' competitive state, proposing an optimal electricity distribution analysis framework for manufacturing enterprises. The results of optimal electricity distribution for six subindustries in the 'three innovations' manufacturing industries (referring to a collection of economic activities to establish new industries, new formats and new business models) are analysed to examine the difference in electricity consumption efficiency among industries. The electricity quota of each industrial chain significantly differs before and after redistribution;therefore, the industrial differences of optimal electricity distribution are further explored from the perspective of industrial chains, revealing the supply–demand relationship of upstream, middle and downstream enterprises. Finally, corresponding policy suggestions and directions for further research are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
