This study focuses on the analysis of optimal energy allocation and environmental performance of China's three major urban agglomerations. Specifically, this paper first uses a fixed-input DEA model to obtain the optimal allocation of energy input. Then, an evaluation model based on the optimal allocation of energy input is proposed to evaluate environmental performance. Finally, these models are applied to the empirical analysis of the three major urban agglomerations in China. This article mainly draws the following conclusions. First, energy is wasted in most cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Second, from 2012 to 2016, the environmental performance of each urban agglomeration showed a downward trend and then an upward trend. Third, the overall environmental performance of the three major urban agglomerations is not high. Some specific regions, such as Handan, Anyang, Xingtai, and Baoding, behave not well in protecting the environment.
