“From seedling cultivation to harvesting, along with temperature control and drip irrigation, all rely on electricity. The power supply company’s services are available whenever needed, allowing us to farm with complete peace of mind!” Recently, in Wuzhai Village, Chengbai Town, Mengzhou City, Jiaozuo, Henan Province, Liu Changxi, a major grower from the Tianbao Fruit and Vegetable Cooperative, gave a thumbs-up to the staff of State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company who were conducting on-site inspections.

Wuzhai Village is home to more than 100 smart greenhouses, where electricity demand continues to rise. Reliable power supply has become essential to the industry’s growth.

In recent years, State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company has carried out regular service visits, conducting comprehensive power inspections across Wuzhai Village. During these visits, staff used professional equipment to examine wiring connections for temperature controllers, drip irrigation pumps, and other greenhouse devices, with a focus on identifying risks such as aging wires and damaged sockets in high-humidity environments.

The company has also established a dynamic management mechanism, placing smart greenhouses under prioritized support. Through WeChat service groups, it has maintained smooth communication, sending real-time reminders on electricity use and promptly responding to growers’ inquiries. Dedicated personnel regularly visit growers to explain energy-saving electricity practices and guide growers in optimizing equipment operating schedules to help reduce costs.

Supported by a stable power supply, Wuzhai Village’s vegetable greenhouses have achieved stable production of off-season produce, boosting growers’ incomes. Electricity has become an important driver of rural revitalization in the region.

Looking ahead, State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company will continue to deepen its efforts to support agriculture through electricity services. In line with Wuzhai Village’s vegetable industry development plan, the company will deliver higher-quality power supply services to promote high-quality agricultural growth.
