The carbon emissions from the power industry remain a central focus of China’s current carbon reduction efforts.The production-related and consumption-related carbon emissions from electricity across 30 provinces in China were analysed and clarified the scale and pathways of spatial and sectoral transfers of carbon emissions between these provinces.The primary analysis was conducted using the multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model.The results indicate that carbon transfer is the primary driver of regional disparities in carbon emissions related to both production-related and consumption-related.Overall,the trend revealed that carbon emissions are being transferred from economically developed provinces to less developed provinces with surplus electricity supply.At the departmental level,the majority of power transfers are caused by electricity demand from the construction and service industries,which accounts for 57.89% of carbon emissions.It is effectively identified that the spatiotemporal characteristics and transfers of carbon emissions from electricity across various provinces,providing a scientific basis and theoretical foundation for the development of carbon reduction programs for the power industry at the provincial level.These efforts will contribute to achieving the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
