The attempts to identify the main determinants of the electricity consumption intensity are presented by using the data from Chinese cities at sub-province and　prefecture levels in 2009. The key category factors, i.e. urban morphology, industrial structure, regulation context, urbanization degree, price, natural condition, resource endowment, are abstracted and the influence of these determinants are evaluated by adopting the finite mixture models. The variation of each determinant across regions, the comparative weights of all the factors and the detailed classifications of the cities are reported for facilitating the understanding of electricity consumption in China and the corresponding policies for electricity administration are addressed. 　　　 　　　 能源经济研讨会（Energy Economics Seminar）由中国人民大学经济学院能源经济系定期推出，旨在为研究中国能源经济问题的学者提供一个交流的平台，以促进我国能源经济的教学研究水平的提高。希望得到各位同仁的关注与支持！ 　　　中国人民大学 经济学院能源经济系
