State Grid Zhoukou Power Supply Company: Guaranteed Measures to Ensure Worry-Free Electricity for Residents’ Spring Festival Celebrations

“Sir, you and ma’am need to be careful with electrical safety. Never touch plugs or sockets with wet hands, okay …” On January 22nd, employees from the Xiangcheng branch of State Grid Zhoukou Power Supply Company offered these patient reminders during a home visit in Zhangzhuang Village, Moling Town, Xiangcheng City.

After the New Year’s holiday, State Grid Zhoukou Power Supply Company implemented a series of proactive and effective measures in line with the requirements for ensuring power supply during the Spring Festival, guaranteeing uninterrupted power for the public during the holiday season. The company organized grid service personnel to conduct surveys on returning migrant workers, gathering detailed information through home visits, phone calls, and WeChat group chats. These surveys tracked the number of family members returning, their arrival times, and any newly purchased high-power appliances. They also provided complimentary line inspections and addressed potential safety hazards. Furthermore, the company established a regular service mechanism for families with members staying home. Area managers conducted home visits, assisting with electrical issues such as damaged switches and sockets to ensure safety, especially for elderly residents and children left in their care.

“With temperatures dropping and rain and snow expected, it’s going to be pretty damp inside the greenhouses, so you must be extra cautious about electrical safety!” On January 22nd, inside the vegetable greenhouses of the Yellow River Flood District Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., employees from the Farm Administration Office Power Supply Center of State Grid Yellow River Flood District Power Supply Company inspected the operating conditions of electrical equipment while reminding growers about safety precautions. The high demand for off-season vegetables during Spring Festival has led to a surge in greenhouse power consumption. To maintain a stable supply of fresh produce for residents during the holiday, State Grid Zhoukou Power Supply Company proactively planned and conducted these on-site visits, guaranteeing a safe and reliable power supply for farmers and supporting increased agricultural yields and income.

The company also mobilized area managers to conduct specialized inspections and rectifications of potential electrical hazards at businesses processing agricultural products, including flour mills, sesame oil workshops, and sweet potato noodle factories. Notices of potential safety hazards were issued to businesses where issues were identified, and assistance was provided to promptly address these concerns. Furthermore, drawing on past experience, the company has strengthened weather monitoring and prepped personnel, vehicles, and emergency supplies for any necessary repairs. Standby staffing and grid-based repair stations have been increased to ensure grid stability during inclement weather. Through these combined efforts, the company is dedicated to ensuring a warm and worry-free Spring Festival powered by reliable electricity for all residents. (By Yuan Haiqing)
