Henan Kaifeng: Stable Power Supply Safeguards Corn from Field to Silo

Recently, staff members from the Zhangshi Central Power Supply Office of State Grid Kaifeng Power Supply Company visited the agricultural machinery cooperative operated by Wang Erhu, a major grower in Zhangshi Town, Weishi County, Kaifeng City, Henan Province. They inspected the electrical load of the corn drying equipment and helped eliminate potential power hazards. Pointing to the golden kernels, Wang said, "With a stable power supply, the corn can be dried and stored on time, even on cloudy or rainy days."

As Weishi County enters its peak corn harvesting season, continuous cloudy and rainy weather has driven up the demand for electricity for grain drying and processing. State Grid Kaifeng Power Supply Company has launched a special power supply action for the autumn harvest, providing precise services to ensure the safe and stable operation of agricultural machinery and strengthening the electricity safeguard for grain storage.

To guarantee reliable power during the harvest period, the company has proactively coordinated with local agricultural departments to identify the electricity needs of grain drying sites. Fourteen dedicated autumn harvest service teams have been dispatched to agricultural cooperatives, family farms, and drying facilities to check the operating status of equipment. Technicians are conducting safety inspections of high-power machines such as dryers and threshers, promptly eliminating potential electrical risks.

State Grid Kaifeng Power Supply Company has also adopted a "online WeChat groups + offline visits" model to stay connected with frontline farmers. Technicians are promoting awareness of power facility protection among operators of large harvesters and providing practical guidance on electrical safety in humid environments. Meanwhile, a green service channel has been set up for drying enterprises to efficiently handle capacity expansion and new electricity connections, ensuring efficient access to power.

Going forward, State Grid Kaifeng Power Supply Company will continue to follow the progress of the autumn harvest, closely monitor electricity demand for both harvesting and planting, and further optimize its service measures. With reliable power and attentive services, the company is ensuring a smooth and fruitful autumn harvest across Kaifeng.
