Xuchang, Henan: High-Quality Power Supply Empowers Rural Tourism

Recently, staff from the State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company conducted electrical safety inspections at rural tourist attractions and their surrounding areas. This initiative aims to create a safe and comfortable environment for visitors, supporting the development of rural tourism and empowering the local economy with high-quality power services.

With the peak summer tourist season now in full swing, Xuchang has become a popular destination for rural getaways, boasting attractions such as the ancient Jun Kiln Ancient Town, with a thousand-year history, and Weijing Village, a village listed in the National Catalogue of Traditional Villages. In response, the State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company has developed a special power supply plan for the summer season, in line with its comprehensive safety improvement campaign. The plan considers the operational patterns of local distribution networks and the specific characteristics of peak summer demand, ensuring the stable operation of power equipment and a reliable electricity supply to all tourist sites.

During these service operations, crews use advanced equipment like infrared thermography and drones to conduct comprehensive inspections and maintenance on power lines, distribution transformers, and other critical infrastructure. Recognizing that many local farmhouse restaurants and homestays have electrical systems that are scattered, frequently updated, and difficult to manage, the company has dispatched senior technicians to these sites. They provide on-site guidance to business owners on how to allocate their electrical loads effectively and adhere to safe electricity practices.

Furthermore, the staff proactively address customer electricity needs, process new service requests efficiently, and are always available to answer questions from local merchants, providing them with technical support and solutions.

Looking ahead, the State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company will continue to closely monitor changes in electricity demand at tourist destinations and refine its service mechanisms. This will ensure a high-quality and reliable power supply during the summer tourism peak, providing a solid electrical foundation for a prosperous tourism season.
