Energy is the strategic resource for the economic and social development of countries along the Belt and Road. The outbreak of COVID-19 and the geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine have created important impacts on the energy supply chain and energy governance. The Belt and Road regions covers the Asian, European and African continents, including not only countries and regions rich in oil and gas resources, such as Russia, West Asia and Central Asia, but also involving important global energy consumption areas, such as China and India. The paper analyzed the energy production and energy consumption structure of Belt and Road regions. Following that, the paper analyzed the development of energy governance of Belt and Road regions, and stated the new challenges in terms of the geopolitical risks, increasing energy market competition, and common energy market for the countries along the Belt and Road. Finally, the paper put forward countermeasures and suggestions to improve the energy governance of the Belt and Road regions which include strengthening energy cooperation mechanism, building energy resilient supply network, accelerating the development of a common regional energy market, improving clean energy cooperation. All these strategies will help to improve energy security of countries along “Belt and Road”, and sustain healthy and stable development of the national economy.
