Shanghai's skyline goes dark to conserve energy
STORY: The area has been dealing with dwindling hydropower output and surging household electricity demand during a long drought and heatwave.
Shanghai's riverside Bund area and parts of the financial centre of Lujiazui, including the Oriental Pearl Tower, were in near darkness as restrictions on power came into effect for two days.
The city was criticized on China’s Twitter-like Weibo for the usage of electricity generated in Sichuan indirectly causing a power cut in parts of the province.
