The Super-SBM model was used first to assess the energy efficiency of 30 Chinese provinces from 2012 to 2017. After that, an energy efficiency spatial correlation test was conducted, and finally, the influencing elements of energy efficiency were analyzed using a geographic panel model. The findings show that the amount of regional economic development has a substantial positive impact on energy efficiency, whereas the level of regional urbanization and the severity of environmental restrictions have a considerable negative impact on energy efficiency in China’s provinces. Other regions’ energy structure and technical innovation have a substantial positive spillover effect on the region’s energy efficiency, whereas other regions’ economic development and foreign direct investment have a significant negative spillover effect on the region’s energy efficiency.
