| Summary/Abstract |
This article investigates the barriers to energy efficiency at the residential sector within one province in China and explores patterns of household electricity consumption. The article presents the results of a survey questionnaire distributed to more than 600 households in Liaoning Province, field research at various Liaoning government agencies, and research interviews of Liaoning government officials to determine the efficacy of their energy efficiency efforts in China. It then investigates the extent that electricity consumers have taken advantage of energy efficiency opportunities relating to more efficient lights, water heaters, appliances, air-conditioners and heaters, and better energy-efficiency labels. The article also assesses the degree that electricity users have become more aware about electricity prices and their levels of consumption, and touches on the connection between rising levels of income and electricity use. It concludes by providing recommendations for how to improve efforts to promote conservation and reduce electricity load growth in Liaoning Province and beyond.

| Summary/Abstract |
Water and energy are important resources for regional economies and are inextricably and reciprocally linked. Global water and energy demand will increase significantly by 2030 while climate change will worsen water availability. Thus, it is important to ensure a sustainable energy supply despite the increasing severity of water resource constraints. Numerous studies have analyzed water requirements to produce energy from production perspectives. However, energy is generally supplied by both internal and external producers. Thus, it is necessary to consider the availability of water to produce energy from consumption perspectives also. We evaluate the water footprint of the energy supply of Liaoning Province, China. We apply the standard top-down approach using an input–output framework. We estimate the water footprint of the energy supply of Liaoning Province at 854 million m3 in 2002, with 47% of water used for electricity and heating. Our results reveal that energy supply could depend on water resources in neighboring provinces; external producers met 80% of the water footprint of energy supply, although only 35% of energy supply was imported. If Liaoning Province decreased its external dependency, withdrawal of available water resources within the province would increase from 86% to 91%. To guarantee future regional energy security, it is important to manage water resources effectively through water-efficient electricity generation and by allocating water resources among sectors.

| Summary/Abstract |
The implementation of regional transformation plans in Liaoning Province aims to establish a digital intelligent manufacturing center, a comprehensive regeneration zone in Northeast China, an international shipping center in Northeast Asia, and an offshore economic development cooperation zone. Particular attention is being paid to the system of interregional cooperation with Russian regions. The modern development of Liaoning Province in cooperation with regions of the world is based on the implementation of the New Silk Road (One Belt, One Road Initiative - OBOR) global project. Liaoning Province's geographical advantages, developed infrastructure, numerous ports (Jinzhou, Dandong, Dalian, Yingkou), and developed railroad network give it major advantages over other regions of China. The Chinese side is interested in bringing dialogue with fraternal regions of Russia from humanitarian cooperation to a system of multivector partnership interaction.
