The energy issue has always been the focus of attention of the international community. On the one hand, it is due to the limited and scarcity of energy, and on the other hand, energy is of great significance to the sustainable improvement of human society. In this context, as an important economic improvement area in China, the exploration of energy efficiency is of great significance for accelerating the realization of sustainable economic improvement in the future. The purpose of this paper is to calculate the energy efficiency based on the ant colony algorithm. Using the ant colony algorithm and the stochastic frontier model, the results based on the common frontier model, the results of the subregional frontier model and the empirical results of the input of classified energy elements are respectively carried out in the experiments.
