Behind every apple exported overseas lies an integrated, carefully managed industrial chain. From orchard picking, intelligent sorting, washing, and waxing to 24/7 climate-controlled cold storage that locks in freshness, every step relies on an uninterrupted power supply. In recent years, State Grid Jingning County Power Supply Company has increased investment in grid upgrades across local apple industry clusters. It has retrofitted 59 10-kV distribution lines with insulation over a total length of 964.94 kilometers, and installed or upgraded 206 distribution transformers. By steadily optimizing the regional grid architecture, the company has significantly boosted power reliability for fruit cold-chain hubs, providing reliable power support for Jingning apple exports.
