　　On November 19, Chen Wenlong, head of the Seed R&D Base in Shixiang Town, Changge City, Xuchang, Henan Province, China, said to the service staff of the Shixiang Power Supply Station, “The cold wave is coming soon. We replaced the electric roller shutters of all the vegetable greenhouses. However, some motors malfunctioned, causing the shutters to fail. Your prompt maintenance has been a great help. Thank you so much!”

　　In recent years, the State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company has undertaken a four-phase upgrade of the power grid in Shixiang Town and its surrounding villages. These efforts have continuously optimized the grid structure, ensuring a stable electricity supply for every stage of seed cultivation, including irrigation, harvest, and drying.

　　At the same time, the State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company implements a tracking and power assurance service, regularly conducting comprehensive inspections of the distribution lines and equipment at the planting bases. Its staff has visited the sites to promote safe electricity usage, proactively assisted in identifying potential hazards in the lines and equipment addressing power issues, and regularly inspected the surrounding lines and wires. By fully leveraging information technology, the Company supports the growth of modern high-quality agriculture and helps ensure stable production and increased income for farmers.

　　Since the beginning of 2024, the power supply departments at both the municipal and county levels of State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company have provided over 220 dedicated power supply services to the Seed R&D Base in Shixiang Town. They have identified and eliminated 12 potential hazards, and resolved 34 power-related issues, injecting strong momentum into rural revitalization.
