In recent years, Zhaohe Town has focused on developing a unique industry for each village, with the establishment of 1,500 mu of organic peach orchards, creating a sustainable path to rural prosperity.

As summer temperatures rise, water shortages pose a risk of peach shrinkage and yield loss. A stable power supply ensures that the orchards receive timely and sufficient irrigation.

The State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company has proactively engaged with local farmers to assess power infrastructure in the peach orchards. During critical watering periods for seedlings and trees, they carried out comprehensive safety checks on power lines, transformer areas, equipment, and meters, identifying and addressing potential hazards. They also educated farmers on safe power practices, guiding them in the safe and efficient use of electricity, ensuring smooth operations.

Moving forward, the State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company will continue to support rural revitalization with stable power supply, helping local specialty industries develop in a smarter and greener direction. This commitment will inject vital electrical momentum into agricultural modernization and rural rejuvenation.
