摘要：伴随着数字化、智能化逐渐成为经济转型升级的新引擎，以互联网为载体驱动能源市场结构性变革已成为“双碳”目标下推动能源清洁低碳、安全高效利用的主要方向。本文选取2006—2019年全国275个地级市的面板数据围绕互联网基础设施建设对能源低碳化转型的整体效果、作用机制和有效边界展开分析,研究发现:“宽带中国”示范城市试点显著提高了城市综合能源碳排放效率和净能源碳排放效率，即互联网基础设施建设能够加速能源低碳化转型;“宽带中国”示范城市试点通过释放绿色创新驱动效应、产业结构优化效应、金融科技赋能效应推动能源低碳化转型，但能源市场整合效应效果发挥受制于能源行业行政垄断和地方保护主义的盛行;“宽带中国”示范城市试点对能源低碳化转型的促进作用主要集中于中西部地区和经济发展大规模城市，并且互联网基础设施建设的红利效应一定程度依赖于完善的传统交通基础设施建设。本文研究为实现“数字-能源”耦合协调发展提供政策启示，以期为加速能源低碳化转型提供科学依据。

Abstract：With digitization and intelligence gradually becoming the new engine of economic transformation and upgrading, using the internet as a carrier to drive structural changes in the energy market has become the main direction of promoting clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient use of energy under the goal of double carbon. This paper selects the panel data of 275 prefecture-level cities across the country in 2006—2019 and analyzes around the overall effect, mechanism and effective boundary of internet infrastructure construction on energy low-carbon transformation. The research found the Broadband China demonstration city pilot significantly improved urban comprehensiveness. Energy carbon emission efficiency and net energy carbon emission efficiency are improved, that is, internet infrastructure construction can accelerate energy low-carbon transformation. Broadband China demonstration city pilots release green innovation-driven effects, industrial structure optimization effects, and fintech empowerment effects promote low-carbon energy transformation, but the effect of energy market integration is limited by administrative monopoly in the energy industry and local protectionism. The role of Broadband China pilot cities in promoting energy low-carbon transformation is mainly concentrated in the midwest areas and large-scale economic development cities, and the dividend effect of internet infrastructure construction depends to a certain extent on the construction of perfect traditional transportation infrastructure. This study provides policy inspiration for the realization of digital-energy coupling and coordinated development, and also provides a scientific basis for accelerating energylow-carbonization transformation.
