A team of four energy companies in Ningyang, Tai'an, East China's Shandong province is ensuring a stable and warm energy supply for tens of thousands of households and local industries through an integrated and smart grid system.

Dubbed the "energy guardians", the group has established a comprehensive energy support network for the county, combining reliable supply with efficient and compassionate services.

The coalition includes Jinhong Natural Gas, Hong'ao Gas, Qilu Jinneng, and Jingnong Energy. Together, they have built a "grid coverage plus smart technology" model that serves as the area's primary energy safeguard.

Jinhong Natural Gas delivers an annual supply of 85 million cubic meters of natural gas to the eastern region, ensuring an uninterrupted supply through real-time monitoring and a repair team on 24-hour standby. Hong'ao Gas supplies about 26,000 households in the western region, delivering an average of 65,000 cubic meters of gas daily and offering dedicated support to vulnerable residents.

Qilu Jinneng has unified local liquefied gas distribution, delivering over 500 metric tons annually with strict safety checks. Jingnong Energy acts as an "energy manager", offering technical solutions that cut electricity costs by 20 percent and promote green development.

This collective effort has woven a robust safety net, supporting Ningyang's development by reliably powering homes and businesses. (Edited by Li Weiwei)
