Henan Jiaozuo: Reliable Power Supply Safeguards the Entire Process of Fresh Fruits Entering the Market

Recently, grid technicians from State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company visited Haolong Plum Orchard in Zhaohe Town, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, to carry out targeted power inspection services for the orchard. They thoroughly checked power lines, distribution facilities and cold storage equipment in the orchard, educated growers on safe electricity use in summer, and strived to ensure a stable power supply throughout fruit picking and fresh-keeping processes.

Right now, a new variety of plums, Fengwei Meigui (Fragrant Rose), is ripening in large quantities at Haolong Plum Orchard. The all-day high-load operation of on-site picking and sorting equipment, drip irrigation systems and cold storage facilities means that a stable power supply directly affects the storage quality of fresh fruits and farmers' income.

To this end, the technicians coordinated with the orchard manager in advance and formulated a dedicated power guarantee plan. Carrying professional equipment, they carefully inspected all power lines in the orchard, rectified minor hidden hazards such as non-standard wiring on the spot, and completed record filing for closed-loop management.

The team explained safe electricity use in summer to fruit growers and picking workers, demonstrated daily testing methods for residual current devices, shared practical knowledge about the hazards of illegal wiring and emergency first-aid measures for electric shock, and distributed brochures on safe electricity use to effectively raise electrical safety awareness.

In the next step, State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company will establish a regular visiting mechanism for planting bases, continuously track power demand, open green channels for electricity services for agriculture-related industries, and implement a 24-hour fault repair response system. With reliable power support and considerate services, the company will help boost the development of characteristic rural industries and support farmers in achieving better harvests and higher income.
