The implementation of green credits has become an important engine for China's high-quality energy development (HQED). On the basis of constructing an index of HQED and the panel data of thirty provinces in China from 2008 to 2019, this study empirically investigated the effects of green credits on HQED and the action mechanisms behind it in a multi-dimensional manner using a panel fixed-effects model, mediating-effects model, and spatial Durbin model. The results indicated that green credits had significantly contributed to China's HQED, and that conclusion still held true after a series of robustness tests were conducted.
