State Grid Fuyang Power Supply Company: Powering autumn harvest to safeguard rural affairs
Golden October has turned the Yinghuai Plain into an endless stretch of gold, the air thick with the fragrance of fresh maize. At the grain-storage center of Sanxing village, Sanhe town, Yingzhou district, Fuyang, Anhui province, a race-against-time harvest campaign is unfolding at full throttle. The roar of machines, the shuttling of trucks and the bustling figures of workers compose a vivid tableau of autumn abundance.

"Before, we had to spread the corn on the village threshing ground — time-consuming, labor-intensive and nerve-racking whenever it rained. With this new drying line, we can process 200 metric tons of wet grain a day — efficiency sky-high!" On the morning of Oct 15, Yang Kunshan, head of the Sanxing storage center, pointed to the humming equipment while briefing Liu Fuzhong and Li Xiaogang — two members of the Wanmei Communist Party Service Team from Sanhe Power Supply Station — who had come for an on-site power-health check.
Inside the high-temperature drying shed, Liu and Li, detectors in hand, inspected every breaker and terminal in the distribution cabinet for overheating or looseness. They then walked along the entire line, checking the status of shellers, conveyors and blowers, and verified the integrity of every grounding conductor. Meanwhile, they briefed the manager and staff on electrical-safety essentials and reminded them to carry out routine maintenance.

To increase the reliability of power for grain dryers, Fuyang Power Supply has rolled out a dedicated support package: a detailed power dossier for every drying enterprise, periodic load forecasting and energy diagnostics, optimized power-use plans that cut energy costs, and inclusion of all relevant feeders in the autumn-harvest protection list. Patrol frequency has been increased, infrared thermography and other live-line detection techniques deployed to spot and eliminate latent defects, and mobile emergency generators stationed nearby so that supply can be restored immediately if an outage occurs.
During the harvest, the company has further streamlined its core business procedures — new connections, load changes, etc — opening a green channel that slashes paperwork and lead times. A roving task force of experienced, highly responsible Party-member account managers now visits fields and threshing floors on site, answering farmers' questions, identifying demand in real time and offering professional advice. Staff also promote the State Grid "e-Power" App, teaching growers how to check bills, apply for services and report faults online — realizing fingertip power management without leaving home.
From spring ploughing through summer irrigation to autumn harvest, State Grid Fuyang Power Supply Company has kept its sights firmly on the energy needs of agribusiness, delivering full-cycle power security and premium services. Next, the company will continue to track harvest progress, institutionalize on-site visits, match demand with precision, intensify inspections of agriculture-related assets and, with "full-grid" power, escort every grain into the barn, injecting robust electrical momentum into the entire agricultural value chain across Fuyang's three districts and five counties.
