[edit] Corporate social responsibility
In the year of 2006, SGCC, in a project called "Power for All", ran electric lines to 545,000 previously unconnected households in rural areas, offering the occupants free power indefinitely. Families were able to buy their first refrigerators, televisions and radios, dishwashers, computers, washing machines, water boilers, heaters and air conditioning units. Farmers have stopped hauling water by installing automated irrigation systems. Over the 2007-2008 period, SGCC plans to spend $3 billion to do the same for 4.5 million of China's poorest people in 18 provinces.
Other CSR projects involve investing in eco-friendly energy.
