State Grid Bozhou Power Supply Company steps forward to help textile, clothing firms

As one of the first batch of "small giant" enterprises in China specializing in unique and innovative technologies, Anhui Hanlian Textile Co Ltd currently holds over 70 national patents. The company has led and participated in the formulation of numerous national and industry standards, and has independently researched, developed, produced, and sold a series of stock solution dyed fiber color spinning products, which rank among the top in the country. In 2024, the company’s output value surpassed 800 million yuan, marking a year-on-year increase of over 180 percent. The power demand and safe production of light textile and clothing enterprises, such as Hanlian Textile and PELLIOT , have garnered significant attention and support from power supply companies. The State Grid Bozhou Power Supply Company has streamlined the power supply process, providing meticulous follow-up on every step of the enterprise's power supply process, akin to a "power nanny," effectively resolving power consumption issues. In their daily service, the power supply company's staff regularly visit the enterprise and conduct thorough inspections of the power supply equipment. Leveraging their professional expertise and extensive experience, they promptly identify potential power issues, nipping any potential hazards in the bud.

Meanwhile, based on the unique power consumption characteristics of textile and apparel enterprises, the power supply company assists them in developing tailored, green, and integrated power grid construction plans. This involves scientifically optimizing the power consumption structure and actively facilitating the use of rooftop photovoltaic equipment for power generation. In 2024, the State Grid Bozhou Power Supply Company signed a power demand-side response agreement with 63 large textile and clothing enterprises in the Lixin County Economic Development Zone. This agreement provided a total of 60,847 yuan in electricity subsidies to eligible enterprises, aiming to help them reduce costs and enhance efficiency. From the implementation of investment attraction projects to the construction and operation of factories, stable and reliable electricity supply, attentive and high-quality services, and a continuously improving electricity business environment have become solid guarantees for the steady operation, product innovation, and expansion into international markets of Lixin county's textile and clothing enterprises.

In 2024, Lixin county in Bozhou, Anhui province, will prioritize the "one piece of cloth" industry, emphasizing the textile and apparel sector as its leading industry. Focusing on the four key chains of "spinning, weaving, dyeing, and garment making", the county aims to vigorously boost new productivity. For the first time, the total output value of the entire industrial chain has surpassed 10 billion yuan, marking an increase of over 50 percent. With economic growth, electricity plays a pivotal role. At the onset of the new year, the State Grid Bozhou Power Supply Company is steadfastly committed to its mission of "a people's power industry for the people", delivering high-quality service. The company is continually enhancing its "electricity brand" to provide robust power support for industrial advancement, thereby fostering high-quality regional economic development.
