State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply Company: 'Power Nannies' ensure the thriving of greenhouses

The flavor of Spring Festival has not faded yet, but inside the greenhouses of the Chongfu Village Share-economy Cooperative in Chonggang town, Pingluo county, Shizuishan city, it is warm and cozy. The fragrance of the soil wafts through the air, and the green vegetables are growing nicely. The villagers skillfully pick, bag, and box the vegetables, presenting a pleasing scene of a bumper harvest.

On Feb 14, the staff members of State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply Company entered the vegetable greenhouses of the economic cooperative in Chongfu village, Chonggang town, to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the electrical equipment inside the greenhouses. "This year, our greenhouses mainly grow vegetables such as peppers, celery, coriander, and tomatoes. We have signed orders with several supermarkets in the county in the early stage. Thanks to the reliable power supply, we can always provide an adequate supply of vegetables," Zhang Rong, the person in charge of the greenhouse of the Chongfu Village Share-economy Cooperative, said to the staff members who came to check and understand the power consumption situation in the greenhouse.

One end of the "vegetable basket" is connected to the dining tables of ordinary people, which is related to a good life. The other end is linked to the fertile land, concerning the livelihoods of farmers. To better meet the production electricity needs of growers, State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply Company takes ensuring the safe electricity use of farmers as an important measure for the benefit and convenience of the people. It combines hidden danger inspections with high-quality services, refines measures, and actively does a good job in agricultural power supply services.

The company organizes personnel to conduct inspections in the vegetable greenhouses within its jurisdiction, carefully "examine" facilities such as water pumping, ventilation, heating, and lighting in the vegetable greenhouses, and promptly eliminates potential electricity hazards in the greenhouses to ensure safe and reliable power supply. At the same time, it gives full play to the "point-to-point" connection function of the grid, makes a thorough investigation of the distribution of farmers and their electricity consumption situations, provides regular door-to-door services, checks for potential safety hazards in power supply lines, focuses on optimizing grid service management, and establishes a rapid-response service model, enabling farmers to enjoy a more smooth and convenient service experience.

In recent years, Chonggang town has been continuously exploring new ways to enhance the efficiency of greenhouse vegetables. Through "demolition, renovation and construction," 78 intelligent solar greenhouses have been newly built. State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply Company has actively responded by sinking its power supply service grids. It has organized personnel to take the initiative to connect with the town government and growers. Utilizing on-site visits and station-based question-answering, it has comprehensively sorted out the vegetable greenhouses in the jurisdiction and established a "list-based" customer file.

For the newly built greenhouses, the staff members carried out in-depth and detailed on-site inspections. Based on the actual electricity demand, they scientifically formulated power supply plans and upgraded and renovated the power supply lines.

In 2024, State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply Company newly built 1.8 kilometers of 10-kilovolt lines, installed four transformers of 400 kilovolt-amperes, and laid 2.6 kilometers of 0.4-kilovolt lines for Chonggang town.

Next, to ensure a stable supply of vegetable agricultural products, State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply Company will continue to organize its staff members to conduct a "carpet-style" inspection of the electrical equipment in key vegetable greenhouses. It will provide farmers with regular follow-up services, and guide them, face-to-face and hands-on, on the safe and scientific use of electricity. With higher-quality services, the company will inject strong "electrical power" into rural revitalization.
