In Part II of this paper, regional (provincial) variations in energy consumption of urban households in China are analyzed using fuel expenditure data from the China Family Income and Expenditure Survey in 1999. A three dimensional matrix data of energy consumption by fuel type (including electricity), thermal-use type, and provinces is estimated using the methodology developed in Part I. In addition, the relationship with the underlying factors that affect the energy consumption structure such as, energy supply conditions, heating or cooling load, and income level are analyzed. The maximum energy consumption per household in 1999 was 36.99GJ/year·household in Heilongjiang and the minimum was 8.56GJ/year·household in Sichuan province. The average for this year was 18.81GJ/year·household. The regional variations are due primarily to differences in: space heating load, coal supply conditions and life styles, from variations in levels of income and urbanization.
