Electricity Fuels the Dreams of Diverse Agriculture

On June 18, State Grid Sanying Power Supply Company of China organized the Ningxia Electric Power Red Liupanshan Party Member Service Team to conduct targeted power inspections as part of the "Safety Production Month" activities. The team provided support to chicken farms, cattle sheds, and mushroom greenhouses, helping these three industries become the "golden key" to local industrial upgrading.

Illuminating the "Smart Path" of Poultry Farming

"Cluck-cluck!" At 5 a.m., Mr. Gu's modern egg farm runs smoothly, sending fresh eggs to the sorting room. Previously, power shortages often caused egg preservation equipment to stop and the automatic feeding system to malfunction. When the Hechuan Power Supply Station of Sanying Company conducted a comprehensive survey on industrial power use, they discovered Mr. Gu's problem. To meet the farm's constant temperature incubation and intelligent lighting needs, the company added a 200 kVA transformer.

The service team conducted a comprehensive check-up of the power supply lines, distribution boxes, temperature control systems, and other automated equipment. They also provided on-site guidance to the farmers on standardized electricity use to ensure safe operation of the equipment, including temperature-controlled chicken coops, ventilation systems, and feeding devices, ensuring reliable power for green poultry farming.

"With stable power now, our egg production has increased by 60%, and there are no issues with the electricity in the chicken coop!" Mr. Gu said with joy.

Reliable Power for Cattle Farming

"The current power service is truly excellent. No matter the time of day, whenever I call the power station, they can help solve my electricity problems. The calves eat well and grow strong!" Mr. Liu remarked.

Early this year, when the cattle shed suddenly lost power, Mr. Liu was extremely worried. He called the Hechuan Station’s emergency repair hotline, and in less than 10 minutes, repair personnel arrived to help. It turned out that the fuse had blown due to aging lines, but power was restored in just one hour. During the inspection, the service team members focused on electrical facilities such as forage processing machines, lighting systems, and milking devices. They helped Mr. Liu clear debris around the distribution box, tighten connections, and fix any potential hazards in the wiring to ensure normal power supply in the cattle shed. They also educated Mr. Liu on safe electricity usage, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted farming production.

Powering Mushroom Growth

Stepping into Ms. Chen's edible mushroom greenhouse, the mushroom sticks are neatly arranged, with LED supplementary lights and a constant-temperature humidifier working together to simulate the natural environment. "Edible mushrooms require very specific temperature, humidity, and light conditions. I used to worry that power fluctuations might affect production," Ms. Chen explained.

The service team thoroughly inspected the insulation of the lines, as well as the performance of the switches and connections for equipment like greenhouse lighting, humidifiers, and ventilation systems. They replaced outdated lines to eliminate the risk of electric leakage due to environmental factors. This ensured that the temperature and humidity control systems needed for mushroom growth received a stable power supply, providing a reliable energy source for boosted mushroom production and income. Now, the greenhouse’s annual output value exceeds 70,000 yuan, helping create jobs for over 300 local villagers.

From chicken farms to cattle sheds and mushroom greenhouses, the Ningxia Electric Power Red Liupanshan Party Member Service Team has used professional services to address the unique needs of each industry. With dependable power supply, intelligent power solutions, and dedicated operational support, they have painted a vibrant picture of rural industrial revitalization.
