Nanjing works to meet growing power needs

In East China's Jiangsu province, the provincial capital of Nanjing, a semi-provincial megacity with some 9.57 million residents living in 11 districts, is working to better meet the increasing power needs of this large populace.

Zeng Yonglin, 68, lives in the Fuchunli community on Fengfu Road in Qinhuai district.

"I have to take this road every day when going to the market for groceries," he said, adding that "in the past, I tried to stay away from old power equipment as much as possible during rainy days — due to safety concerns."
