The Fifth Plenum of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China stressed the need to improve the living environment, achieve high-quality economic development, rationally allocate energy resources and improve the energy use efficiency during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The Yellow River Basin is an important energy base in China, and the energy use efficiency directly affects the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. Based on the analysis of the relationship between industrial structure upgrading and energy efficiency, and the panel data of nine provinces in the Yellow River Basin from 2001 to 2019, this paper empirically analyzed the impact of industrial structure upgrading on energy use efficiency in the Yellow River Basin. Results showed that: On the whole, industrial structure upgrading positively promoted the improvement of energy efficiency in the Yellow River Basin; from the view of sequential variation, the overall energy use efficiency in the Yellow River Basin was on the rise; from the view of spatial difference, the energy use efficiency of provisions in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin was relatively low, and the energy use efficiency in the lower reaches showed significant advantages.
