State Grid Tai'an ensures power supply, relief amid scorching heat

As sweltering temperatures persist in July and peak summer heat looms, electricity demand continues to climb across Tai'an, Shandong province. In response, State Grid Tai'an Power Supply Company has rolled out targeted measures to ensure a safe and reliable power supply for residents and businesses.

With forecasts predicting further surges in power consumption during the upcoming days, the company is on high alert. It has adopted a proactive approach, closely monitoring grid conditions and adjusting operations in real time based on load fluctuations. 

Key efforts include intensified inspections of transmission, transformation, and distribution equipment, infrared temperature checks, live testing, and focused patrols of heavily loaded lines and main transformers. Fire and flood risks at substations and on power lines are also being thoroughly assessed and addressed.

To enhance its preparedness, the company has improved load forecasting accuracy and refined its emergency power supply plans. Priority is being given to residential electricity needs and demand-side response programs, aiming to strike a balance between supply and demand.

Emergency repair teams are on standby 24/7, ready to restore power in case of outages. Through these comprehensive measures, State Grid Tai'an is not only safeguarding grid reliability but also delivering much-needed "cool electricity" to local communities in the summer heat.
