Huai'an, Jiangsu: Field-Side “Power Banks” Support Harvests with QR Code Charging

Wheat in Huai'an is currently in a critical stage of field management. State Grid Huai'an Power Supply Company has installed shared power supply posts in farmlands, allowing farmers to charge crop-protection drones and other agricultural equipment by scanning a QR code.

Since the beginning of this year, to address farmers' electricity needs for charging crop-protection drones and irrigation, State Grid Huai'an Power Supply Company has deployed shared power supply posts in fields. The posts support scan-to-use, pay-as-you-go service, with the system automatically measuring power use and calculating charges. Each post can serve about 800 mu of farmland.
