Reliable power boosts greenhouse vegetable supply in Jinchang

As autumn arrives, fruits and vegetables are entering their peak growing season. Maintenance staff from State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company recently visited a vegetable base in Liuba town to inspect greenhouse electrical facilities and identify hazards, helping ensure stable autumn and winter crop production and a steady local fresh-produce supply.

Purple cabbage, celery, and cauliflower at the base are currently in critical growth stages. Temperature control, irrigation, ventilation, and supplemental lighting are running continuously at high loads, demanding stable power.

The enclosed, humid greenhouse environment and large temperature swings increase risks of moisture damage, insulation deterioration, and aging wiring, which can lead to leakage and short circuits.

Based on the electricity needs of greenhouses, staff conducted a comprehensive inspection of dedicated power lines, distribution boxes, residual current devices, irrigation pumps, and electric roller shutters.

They examined cable installations, connection tightness, switch conditions, and device sensitivity, looking for unauthorized wiring, aged cables, and overloaded equipment. Minor defects were corrected on site to keep farming equipment running reliably.

Staff also explained safe and efficient electricity use, routine equipment maintenance, and precautions for thunderstorms and leakage prevention. They answered farmers' questions and encouraged standardized practices to improve safety awareness and emergency response. Contact details were provided so farmers could request prompt repair and consultation services.

For years, State Grid Jinchang has strived to meet rural agricultural power needs through on-site services, reliable support for greenhouse farming and fruit and vegetable cultivation, and timely resolution of field power problems.

Going forward, the company will continue improving rural power services, monitor peak autumn and winter agricultural electricity use, increase inspections of agricultural lines and equipment, refine supply assurance plans, and provide stable power for specialty agriculture and rural vitalization.
