Focus on the "No Night City" and Serve the Night Economy with Care

Previously, vendors pulled out dense electrical wires from the storefront, which was neither elegant nor safe. Since the power supply company installed a dedicated power box for the entire street, everyone's electricity usage has become much more convenient and safe... "Mao Fenghua, the chairman of the Wuning Street Federation of Trade Unions in Dongyang City, said happily on the night of August 24th.

Zhenxing Road, Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province, has a total length of nearly 3000 meters and is one of the characteristic commercial demonstration streets in Zhejiang Province. At night, the lights were shining brightly and the crowd was bustling. On both sides of the street, there were thousands of stalls for clothing, department stores, cooked food, barbecue, and more. The mixture of fireworks, chili peppers, and cumin wafted from the street food stalls towards the end of the alley. These vendors come from 15 provinces across China, including Henan, Anhui, and Hubei, becoming the mainstream of urban night economy. In the crowd, a bright "red vest" shines, and the Red Boat Communist Party Member Service Team organized by the State Grid Dongyang City Power Supply Company is inspecting the safety regulations of temporary electricity use at Zhenxing Road stalls.

The State Grid Dongyang City Power Supply Company carefully identified the safety hazards of temporary electricity use at the stalls and discovered issues such as outdated and aging power facilities around the stalls, and unauthorized connection of power lines. In response, the company and the Zhenxing Road Stall Economic Union reached a consensus through consultation: the Zhenxing Road Stall Economic Union will invest, and the power supply company will install temporary power points for each stall free of charge, jointly improving the electricity safety of the block. Set up a "one meter, one box" system with 10 stalls as a unit, equipped with sockets, leakage protection devices, etc., to ensure that the power supply can be automatically cut off in case of overload or leakage of electrical load. In addition, the State Grid Dongyang Power Supply Company regularly arranges professional personnel to conduct safety electricity inspections in the neighborhood.

In recent years, the local government has accelerated the pace of cultivating urban night economy through policy guidance, forming a series of characteristic projects such as Hengdian Scenic Area Night Market, Luzhai Scenic Area Intangible Cultural Heritage Night Market, Rural Night Market, and Night Cruise. Dongyang City has been successfully selected as a pilot city for the night economy in Zhejiang Province in 2023, and has also been listed as the first batch of national level night culture and tourism consumption clusters.

Next, State Grid Dongyang City Power Supply Company will continue to carry out electricity safety rectification and normalized inspections on various night markets, assist the night market management committees in strengthening management, create a safe and standardized night economy power supply and consumption environment, and contribute to the high-quality development of local economy and society.（Author: Wang Conghang）
