As fig harvesting reaches its peak season, electricity demand for irrigation has increased significantly. To ensure safe and reliable power during this crucial period, State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company dispatched technicians to the fields to inspect key equipment such as irrigation pumps and line connections. Any potential electrical hazards identified were promptly addressed on-site to guarantee stable power supply. Meanwhile, staff members also provided farmers with guidance on safe electricity practices and emergency response measures, distributing safety manuals to enhance their awareness and preventive capabilities.

In recent years, Jiaozuo has witnessed rapid growth in its specialized agriculture sector, with the cultivation areas of high-value crops such as figs and grapes expanding year by year. Focusing on the needs of industrial development, State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company has continued to upgrade and modernize rural power grids, ensuring reliable electricity for agricultural production. Through a grid-based service model, the company has extended power supply services directly to farmlands, providing tailored electrical support for new business models such as smart agriculture and cold-chain logistics.

Moving forward, State Grid Jiaozuo Power Supply Company will continue to focus on the power needs of specialty agricultural industries. By deepening its "Power + Agriculture" service model, the company aims to strengthen support for characteristic agricultural development and inject strong electrical momentum into rural revitalization.
