Energy is a basic element of human social progress and economic development; however, energy-related issues are typically related to economic development, social stability, and national security. Rural energy construction is one of the key links in rural infrastructure construction. It is the important material basis of the rural economy and social development. However, China’s rural energy consumption is characterized using more inefficient energy and the irrational rural energy consumption structure. Therefore, issues related to the energy utilization of farmers has received increasing attention in recent times. Solving the energy issues faced by farmers in their daily lives as well as their production processes can help to promote the coordinated development of the rural social economy and ecological environment. China is a big energy consumer and hence, energy utilization is very important in the country. Owing to their large population, rural areas are an important part of China’s energy utilization structure. In recent years, China has vigorously promoted the integration of urban and rural areas. The rational development and utilization of rural energy is directly related to the construction of new socialist countryside. In this context, this paper study utilized the census data of Hebei Province to study household and production energy use in rural areas. First, an analysis of the overall characteristics and existing problems of rural energy use showed that the rural energy consumption structure in Hebei Province is relatively unitary. Additionally, the rural production electricity consumption increases year by year and the demand for hydropower construction is large. Second, an empirical analysis indicated a gap in farmers’ energy consumption in 11 regions of the Hebei Province. The main reasons for this gap were the level of economic development and the geographical location of the regions. Although farmers are increasingly using more energy. But the problem remains acute. Finally, practical suggestions are put forward for rural energy problems.
