Abstract: Abstract With the energy crisis, environmental pollution and recession becoming increasingly serious, regional sustainable development has become an important global research issue. As a special form of economic development, industrial agglomeration plays an important role in regional sustainable development. However, while driving economic development, industrial agglomeration can have a negative external effect. How to balance the two sides of industrial agglomeration to promote sustainable regional development is an important challenge facing contemporary society. From the perspective of industrial factor agglomeration, this study examines the impacts of the spatial agglomeration of patent technology and practitioners in new energy industries on regional sustainable development capability. The results show that the spatial agglomeration of new energy technology and of practitioners has negative and positive effects on regional sustainable development capability, respectively, and this effect is more obvious in economically underdeveloped regions. Based on the results, countermeasures and suggestions are proposed, including adjusting the structure of regional industrial agglomeration, shifting the pattern of new energy technology diffusion, optimizing the regional staffing structure and implementing institutional reforms in regional sustainable development governance.
