Powering the High-Quality Integration of Tea and Tourism

Located in a selenium-rich region, Pingli County is a renowned tea-producing hub in Northwest China. Its specialty, "Nüwa Yinfeng" green tea, has been prized for its superior quality since ancient times and was once a tribute to the imperial court during the Ming and Qing dynasties. As Pingli's core green pillar industry, the tea sector is enhancing quality and efficiency while promoting the integrated development of tea, tourism, culture, and wellness,  supported by the reliable power supply of State Grid Shaanxi Electric Power Company Limited.

Currently, Pingli County boasts 250,000 mu (approx. 16,667 ha) of tea plantations, featuring several provincial and municipal-level modern tea industry demonstration zones. Smart irrigation and fertilization systems are now widely used across these plantations. As major tea companies continue to introduce modern processing equipment, the shift toward large-scale and intelligent production has led to a steady rise in regional electricity demand.

The power company proactively addresses industry needs by optimizing grid layouts and strengthening equipment operations and maintenance. Staff members regularly visit tea companies and farmers to accurately assess their needs and ensure a stable power supply for production. Meanwhile, crews conduct comprehensive inspections of tea factory wiring, distribution panels, and other equipment to identify potential hazards. By replacing outdated facilities and reinforcing safety measures, they have earned high praise from local tea companies. Thanks to the development of its high-quality tea industry, Pingli has been officially recognized as a "Key Tea-Producing County."

Pingli enjoys a superb ecological environment where tea plantations blend seamlessly with the natural landscape. Leveraging these resources, the local government is vigorously developing the homestay and cultural tourism sectors. In response to the surge in electricity demand from rural tourism, the power supply company has increased investment in rural grids, upgraded distribution networks in key villages, and expanded capacity for homestays. These efforts support the deployment of smart guest rooms, EV charging stations, and other modern facilities, continuously driving the integrated development of tea and tourism while providing strong green energy support for rural revitalization.
