While working out both the regional development and energy strategy,full attention have to be paid to their relationship. Under China’s circumstances;there are three levels of economic regions,i, e. macro-economic region, provincial (or equivalent) one, and sub-provincial one. This paper mainly deals with the relationship between energy strategy and the first,second levels of economic regions.In the author’s opinion,implication of macro-economic region should include; (1) considerably large land area and population, (2)considerably powerful economic strength and relatively complete industrial system, (3)several leading industries and a number of specialized products, (4)developed complex transport system, (5)at least one core area and a number of central cities,and (6)powerful energy bases and electricity system. In terms of regional economy and its relationship with energy,three types of macro-eco-nomic regions can be classified as follows; (1)Northeast China and Southwest China, (2) East China,South China and Central China, (3)North china and Northwest China.The province is the most basic economic area unit of China. According to the energy reserves,economic development and energy supply, the provinces in China could be di-vided into 5 types; (1)provinces or municipalities with developed economy,advantage in manufacturing industries, lack of energy resources and intensely energy import, (2) provinces with a middle development level and heavy industrial structure,some energy reserves which enable to balance the huge energy demand,and coal import ever increas-ing, (3)provinces with middle development or underdeveloped level,limitation in energy resource and definite amount of energy import, (4)provinces with a middle development or underdeveloped level,abundant energy reserves and huge energy export, (5)provinces with a middle deveplopment level or underdeveloped level and balanced energy between demand and supply.
