Reliable power supports bamboo processing industry

Inside a bamboo deep-processing workshop in Dashu town, Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, machines roar and production lines operate at full speed, cutting, sanding, drying, and packaging bamboo. Employees of State Grid Hangzhou Power Supply Co (State Grid Hangzhou) conduct power usage inspections and hazard checks at bamboo processing enterprises, ensuring they have reliable power during the busy summer season.

Hangzhou, Zhejiang, boasts vast mountainous forests and abundant bamboo resources. Leveraging its unique ecological advantages, the local bamboo deep-processing industry has flourished, becoming a pillar industry that drives employment and income for villagers while promoting rural vitalization.

Based on the actual development needs of mountainous areas, State Grid Hangzhou focuses on the electricity demand of bamboo processing bases in the region, addresses pain points and difficulties in industrial development, and safeguards the entire chain of fine bamboo processing with reliable power supply and attentive services.

To resolve electricity challenges faced by industries in mountainous regions, State Grid Hangzhou has taken proactive, targeted actions. It has set up special service teams that visit bamboo processing enterprises and workshops to inspect power supply lines, distribution equipment, and production electricity facilities, check issues such as aging lines and equipment hazards, and establish a hazard tracking log.

The teams provide on-site guidance on proper power operation and eliminate various electrical safety risks. In response to the seasonal concentration of electricity use and large load fluctuations during processes like drying and deep processing of bamboo, the company optimizes power supply plans, allocates power resources, upgrades old power supply lines, enhances supply reliability, and ensures stable, round-the-clock production for enterprises.

State Grid Hangzhou also supports the long-term development of enterprises by offering one-stop services, including electricity policy consultation, energy-saving guidance, and capacity expansion. It simplifies the power connection process, shortens lead times, and reduces electricity costs for enterprises. From initial line planning and equipment installation to later routine inspections and emergency repairs, the company provides end-to-end follow-up services, solving all kinds of power difficulties in production and operation.

Reliable electricity has helped support the modernization of Hangzhou's bamboo-processing industry. As companies expand into higher-value products and extend the industrial chain, they are making better use of local bamboo resources while creating jobs and increasing incomes for nearby residents.

State Grid Hangzhou will continue focusing on ensuring electricity supply for rural industries, paying particular attention to the development needs of agriculture and forestry in mountainous areas. The company will continue improving rural power infrastructure and services to support the development of agriculture, forestry and other local industries, contributing to rural vitalization across the mountainous areas of northwestern Zhejiang.
