Recently, service personnel from State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company visited the flower cultivation base of Junhui Agricultural Cooperative to carry out safety inspections, ensuring secure and reliable electricity for production.

The cooperative is an integral part of Xuchang’s rural prosperity industry chains, a citywide initiative to strengthen local industries. In recent years, Xuchang has cultivated 12 such industry chains—including soybean products, sweet potatoes, mushrooms and vegetables, apiculture, and traditional Chinese medicine—to advance urban-rural integration and promote common prosperity.

To meet the growing energy needs of these industries, State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company leverages a big data platform to dynamically monitor electricity consumption. Through regular analysis and scientific forecasting, the company upgrades public power lines and extends high- and low-voltage networks, ensuring a strong and reliable grid backbone for rural industrial growth.

Additionally, the company empowers district managers to build dedicated WeChat groups, establishing a responsive “online + offline” service model. This enables real-time identification of electricity needs and prompt issue resolution. Tailored to seasonal production cycles, service teams also conduct proactive on-site inspections to eliminate potential hazards at an early stage—ensuring safe, stable, and uninterrupted power for the rural prosperity industry chains.
