　　To ensure the safe and reliable electricity services during the New Year Goods Fair, the Power Supply Company has selected skilled members to form a service task force. This team conducts three-dimensional inspections of relevant distribution lines and equipment, using technologies such as drones and infrared temperature measurement, based on the changes in electricity loads.

　　In addition, the power maintenance service task force has also conducted tours to identify hidden safety hazards in various shops and stands within the market. They carefully checked the operation of power distribution boxes and other electrical facilities, supervised the rectification of old, damaged, and illegally connected wires that cause safety hazards, and disseminated electricity safety knowledge to merchants and visitors through distributing pamphlets and hanging safety banners.

　　“The Power Supply Company took the initiative to reach out to us to understand the electricity needs during the New Year's goods fair, helping merchants take stock of their electricity usage. With the considerate assistance of the 'electricity steward', we feel very assured about electricity usage during the fair. The New Year's goods fair is making record sales, and its popularity is increasing day by day,” said Sun Cheng, director of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau of Linghe District, Jinzhou City.
