Jiaozuo, Henan province, is a major high-yield grain-producing area. In 2026, it is home to 112 grain drying facilities with 166 dryers, capable of drying 16,000 metric tons per batch. During the autumn harvest, the use of drying equipment and electricity load rise sharply.

State Grid Jiaozuo planned ahead, compiled a list of agricultural enterprises, compiled regional work records, and used its three-tier service network to provide targeted support.

Staff focused on inspections of dedicated transformers, distribution cabinets, control circuits, and grounding systems, targeting aging wiring, overheating connections, and faulty residual current devices.

The company also opened an online fast-track channel offering one-stop services for electricity consultation, connection applications and power installation.

State Grid Jiaozuo will keep monitoring weather changes, step up inspections of agriculture-related power lines and equipment, strengthen management of repair materials, spare parts and emergency teams, and continue follow-up service for key users. It aims to support stable autumn grain production and ensure a strong harvest with reliable power and quality services.
