The expansion of the grape industry would not be possible without reliable power supply. Wherever greenhouses are built, power lines follow. To ensure stable and reliable electricity during grape planting and harvesting, State Grid Zhangye Power Supply Company has proactively aligned with the power demands of rural industrial development. The company made early arrangements and dispatched staff to visit grape growers, going deep into fields and vineyards to carry out comprehensive inspections and maintenance of power lines and equipment, promptly addressing potential safety hazards. At the same time, staff engaged directly with grape growers to learn about their challenges and electricity needs, committing to a 24/7 on-call service to resolve problems at the earliest possible time. In addition, considering the electricity required for irrigation, cold storage and preservation, the company has provided growers with tailored power supply solutions, along with technical guidance, to help them use electricity in a scientific and safe manner.
