Abstract: The focus of China's poverty alleviation work has shifted from eradicating absolute poverty to alleviating unbalanced and insufficient relative poverty，from solving income poverty to solving multidimensional poverty，and from focusing on solving rural poverty to coordinating urban and rural poverty alleviationEnergy is an important indicator of people's quality of life and can effectively reflect the welfare levelInvestigating the characteristics of urban household energy consumption and measuring the distribution of energy poverty provide a scientific management basis for poverty alleviationThis paper constructs the framework of household energy consumption decisionmaking，and uses the first Chinese Residential Energy Consumption Survey to investigate the relationship between residents'income and energy consumption，and measures the energy poverty of urban households in ChinaIt is found that there is a nonlinear relationship between residentsincome and energy consumptionEnergy price，family characteristics and regional characteristics all play an important role in energy consumption decisionmakingThe relative energy poverty of urban households in China is serious，mainly manifested in the problem of energy affordabilityThe energy poverty rate is about 20%，of which the power poverty rate is more than 25%The increase of family income，the improvement of education level，the popularization of urban power infrastructure and the improvement of urban environmental regulation level will significantly reduce the possibility of falling into energy poverty，and the rise of power price will significantly increase the probability of falling into energy poverty.
