State power supplier ramps up output for local specialty businesses

Technicians of State Grid Anyang Power Supply Co conduct onsite safety checks at a greenhouse in Anyang, Henan province, in January. The local power supplier has proactively checked our electrical equipment and guided us in adjusting our power usage plan according to our production schedule and load, helping save over 1,000 yuan in electricity costs each month," said Liu Weihao, general manager of the rural complex. "To ensure reliable power supply for the development of the local mugwort industry, we completed the rural network upgrade for two stations in two villages last year, extending over 800 meters of low-voltage lines to meet the irrigation and production needs of the mugwort planting base," said Xu Shulong, an executive with State Grid Laiwu Power Supply Co. Laiwu is not alone in witnessing a local specialty industry boom amid early summer. At a greenhouse in Mashang township of Anyang, Central China's Henan province, farmers are busy utilizing smart equipment to irrigate and water sweet melon plantations, and look forward to embracing a bountiful harvest. Cooperating with the local government, State Grid's Anyang Power Supply Co said it has actively improved customer service based on the development plan of Mashang's sweet melon planting industry.
