On Friday, staff members of State Grid Hangzhou Power Supply Company visited Guangming Farm in Yuqian town, Lin'an district in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, to conduct inspections of the power lines around the rice fields. They inspected electrical equipment such as solar insecticidal lamps, smart valves and smart monitoring boxes, eliminating safety hazards and safeguarding the autumn harvest.

During the National Day holiday, a plowing and weaving tour event was held at Guangming Farm, attracting many visitors to experience the rural market. In recent years, relying on the natural scenery of surrounding farms, Yuqian town has tapped into the development potential of agriculture-themed tourism. The region is creating Song Dynasty-themed scenery to enhance the farms’ appeal and increase farmers' income.

In the nearby modernized agricultural service center in Yuqian, after the harvested rice enters the processing stage, the processes of de-husking, drying and packaging can be finished quickly with the help of automated production lines. The equipment has significantly improved rice processing efficiency.

The joy of viewing fertile fields means the autumn harvest season is the best time to visit. To ensure stable and reliable power supply during the autumn harvest, State Grid Hangzhou Power Supply Company planned ahead leveraging the advantages of grid-based services. Based on seven power supply stations, the company organized professional technicians to conduct inspections and maintenance of the power lines and distribution facilities around the rice fields, ensuring the equipment operates in good condition.

Based on the 24 solar terms, the company has learned about the electricity needs of farmers to provide comprehensive services, offering electricity consultation and technical support. For high-power equipment such as harvesters and dryers, staff members conducted detailed inspections to ensure the equipment can connect to power sources and operate stably.

State Grid Hangzhou Power Supply Company has strengthened grid scheduling and operations by implementing 24-hour uninterrupted patrols and monitoring of key areas and critical power lines. It has also established an emergency repair team. Equipped with sufficient repair materials and tools, the team members can quickly respond and restore the power supply in case of power failures.

In the future, the company said it will continue to closely monitor the equipment during the autumn harvest and optimize service measures to improve service quality.
