　　As peak summer electricity demand approaches, rural areas are seeing a rise in temporary electricity use. To address decentralized, underregulated practices and inadequate safety measures within its area of responsibility, the State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company has implemented a dual strategy of inspection and rectification. This initiative comprehensively strengthens the management of temporary electricity use, ensuring the standardization and safety of temporary electricity consumption.

　　The State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company has mobilized its local power supply stations to conduct thorough investigation of rural temporary electricity users. It has improved the management records for temporary electricity use, verified the power connection methods and safety protection measures of these users on-site, and tested the leakage protection devices one by one. For the problems and potential hazards identified, such as broken cables, improper grounding, and non-standard leakage protection devices, rectification notices were issued on-site. Additionally, rectification suggestions were made, and assistance was provided to customers in formulating measures to eliminate defects. This systematic approach guarantees secure and reliable power access while reinforcing regulatory adherence.

　　Furthermore, the State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company has refined its service measures by deploying teams to fields, villages, and households for safety education and technical guidance. For users requiring temporary power access, the Company has offered streamlined on-site approvals, reducing processing time while maintaining compliance. This approach prioritizes rapid response and risk mitigation, ensuring reliable electricity access while boosting operational efficiency.
