Xuchang, Henan: Thoughtful Service Safeguarding Farmers' Livelihoods

On March 20, in Luozhai Village, Zhile Town, Yanling County, staff from State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company visited Lvyuan Free-Range Chicken Farm to conduct on-site electrical safety inspections, thoroughly assess power usage needs, eliminate potential hazards, and educate farmers on safe electricity practices, ensuring a worry-free power supply throughout the winter.

Lvyuan Free-Range Chicken Farm is a specialized poultry farm engaged in the domestication, breeding, and hybrid research of free-range chickens, with 12,000 breeding hens and a daily egg production of over 9,000 eggs. The company’s attentive services have provided farm owner Chang Chunwang with peace of mind. “As soon as winter arrives, heating demand in the chicken coops surges, and power failures are our biggest fear. Thanks to your frequent visits and services, we no longer have to worry about electricity issues, and our farm is thriving!” Chang Chunwang said.

As mid-winter sets in and temperatures plummet, poultry farms experience a sharp increase in power consumption. Essential equipment for heating, lighting, ventilation, and feed processing relies heavily on stable power supply. To ensure safe and reliable electricity for farmers, support the development of the livestock industry, and promote rural revitalization, State Grid Xuchang Power Supply Company has adopted a multi-pronged approach tailored to the specific needs of the farming sector. The company has established dedicated service records and leveraged the “Village-Grid Co-Construction” service network to enhance convenience. Using a grid-based service model, technical personnel conduct regular on-site inspections of poultry farm power supply lines. These inspections focus on heating systems, disinfection equipment, ventilation systems, lighting, water pumps, feed processors, and mixing machines to identify and promptly eliminate any electrical safety hazards. Furthermore, the company actively educates farmers on safe electricity usage, providing guidance on electrical safety measures while addressing their urgent power-related concerns. By ensuring stable and full-capacity electricity supply, the company is committed to helping livestock farmers safely navigate the winter months, protecting their livelihoods, and enhancing customer satisfaction. This initiative also strengthens the power infrastructure supporting local economic and social development.
