State Grid ensures power grid safety for summer farming season

During this season, golden waves of wheat rows mark the upcoming harvest in Jinchang city, Gansu province. Staff members from State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company worked in the fields and utilized new technologies such as drones to inspect the power supply areas around villages. Their jobs are ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid equipment during the peak summer period.

The company is leveraging the advantages of volunteer services to address the electricity challenges faced by farmers during planting, harvesting and field management in the summer season. Tailored to the electricity needs of the summer harvest, the company has developed precise plans and implemented effective measures to safeguard the harvesting of wheat. Upholding the principles of power supply assurance and full-service provision, the company is strengthening the role of area managers. Combining regular inspections with special patrols and protection methods, the company has enhanced the management of key distribution lines and electric facilities for agricultural irrigation wells to ensure "reliable and on-demand" power usage for irrigation.

The managers are also providing timely online guidance to deal with various electricity-related issues encountered by the residents during irrigation processes.

They focus on enhancing farmers' awareness of safe electricity usage and maintaining a favorable electricity environment. By closely linking the electricity demands for irrigation with live-line operation methods and other routine measures, the company has advanced its distribution network operation work, minimized the impact of power outages on agricultural irrigation lines and fully ensured the electricity needs for agricultural irrigation during this critical period.
