Research on Departmental Collaborations in the Local Government Energy Conservation

The scientific and reasonable departmental collaboration is the key to effective energy conservation work carried out by local governments. This study collects energy-saving policy texts and energy efficiency data of 121 local governments, uses data mining, social network analysis, and related analysis methods to analyze the departmental collaborations in local government energy-saving, and reveals the main problems in departmental collaborations. The results show that: from the structural law, the collaborations with the Department of Water Resources should be strengthened, and the collaborations with Department of Culture and Tourism and Department of Education should be reduced, which can improve energy efficiency. The main problem of current departmental collaborations is that Department of Water Resources is facing obvious lack of collaborations, and the collaborations between relevant departments and Department of Water Resources should be strengthened.
