JINCHANG, China, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On September 18th, staff from State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company went deep into the 1,000-mu Gobi plum planting base in Hejiawan Village, Nanba Township, Yongchang County, Jinchang City, to launch the “Guaranteeing Electricity for Autumn Harvest • Services Entering the Fields” campaign. This initiative aims to build a solid electricity barrier for the entire chain of plum production, including picking, sorting, and cold-chain transportation, providing strong support for the smooth progress of the local agricultural harvest and the development of rural industries.
To ensure reliable electricity supply during the plum harvesting season, the company took proactive measures by formulating a targeted “one garden, one policy” power guarantee plan in advance. This personalized plan fully considers the unique electricity demand characteristics of the plum planting base, covering all aspects from power transmission to equipment operation. Professional teams were organized to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the electrical facilities within the base, including the 10 kV power lines, distribution transformers, and irrigation water pumps. During the inspection, special attention was paid to potential hazards such as aging lines and overheating equipment connections, which are key factors affecting the stability of electricity supply.
In view of the electricity-intensive areas such as the sorting workshops and cold storage facilities, where the demand for stable power is particularly high, the staff carried out on-site voltage stability tests. They also provided professional guidance to farmers on the standardized use of sorting machines and refrigeration equipment, helping farmers avoid equipment failures caused by improper operation and ensuring the efficient and safe operation of the entire production chain. Through these meticulous efforts, a total of 5 hidden hazards were eliminated, and 3 aging switches were replaced, effectively improving the safety and reliability of the power supply system in the planting base.
The efforts of State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company not only ensure the smooth progress of the local plum harvest this year but also lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the local agricultural industry. By integrating high-quality power services into the whole process of rural industrial development, the company is actively contributing to the implementation of China’s rural revitalization strategy, helping rural areas improve production efficiency, increase farmers’ income, and promote the sustainable development of the rural economy. This practice also sets a good example for the integration of power services and agricultural development, providing valuable experience for promoting rural revitalization in more regions.
