State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company: Rain hinders harvest, but electricity ensures grain drying

“Manager Tian, how is the power supply load these days? If you have any power demand, please contact us by phone in time.” On October 4, power supply employees of Jutian Agricultural Science Co., Ltd. in Dengzhou City, Nanyang City were understanding the power demand from the person in charge of the enterprise and making every effort to ensure power supply for autumn harvest.

As autumn crops enter the peak harvest period, continuous rainy weather has caused the moisture content of newly harvested sorghum and corn to rise sharply, requiring urgent drying. State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company took prompt action, organized county-level power supply companies to accurately meet the needs of drying enterprises, and power supply employees provided door-to-door services to more than 60 grain drying enterprises in the city. They focused on checking whether customer wires were aging or loose, and whether wire joints were loose. Problems found were rectified immediately. For potential electrical hazards in grain drying equipment, they helped customers deal with them on site to ensure normal power supply for autumn grain drying. They also explained safe electricity use knowledge to customers and guided them to use electricity safely and scientifically. They opened up a green channel for electricity use, simplified the application process, and quickly handled temporary electricity application business for the masses.

While doing a good job in business expansion and connection, State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company also, in combination with the characteristics of autumn harvest electricity use, organized professional and technical personnel to go deep into the fields to carry out a dragnet inspection of hidden dangers in the transmission, distribution facilities, substation equipment and power supply and distribution lines under its jurisdiction. Found safety hazards were eliminated and rectified in a timely and comprehensive manner to ensure the operation of power supply equipment without defects. At the same time, the safety warning patrol and inspection of field electric poles and guy wires were strengthened. Warning signs were installed for field electric poles and guy wires lacking them to avoid accidents of breaking guy wires during the autumn harvest. Autumn harvest power protection service teams were established to take the initiative to contact autumn harvest agricultural machinery operators, explain safety precautions, and prevent the behavior of accidentally touching power facilities from the source, so as to protect the safety of autumn grains with all-round power protection services.

In the next step, State Grid Nanyang Power Supply Company will strengthen communication and contact with meteorological departments, closely pay attention to weather changes and the progress of autumn harvest, make every effort to ensure electricity for autumn grain drying, and make the drying equipment at various autumn grain drying points operate at full capacity for 24 hours to fully meet the drying needs of grain farmers and ensure that every grain of autumn grain is safely stored.
