With the upcoming plowing and irrigation season this spring, State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply in Ningxia Hui autonomous region has organized Party member work teams to provide an in-depth service to farmers during this critical period.
Across various field sites in Pingluo county, Shizuishan city, staff members are constantly occupied with checking power lines and equipment or ensuring that agricultural distribution transformers and meter boxes are in optimal condition. Special inspections on agricultural irrigation pumps have also been carried out to eliminate possible safety hazards.
The company has also opened a green channel for electricity used for spring irrigation. Farmers can quickly finish the application for services such as installation, capacity expansion and repairs online. In response to the potential risk of electric shock from farm machinery during spring plowing, the service team members taught farm machinery operators knowledge and skills regarding safe electricity use.
Moreover, State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply has innovated its service model by establishing service groups on the WeChat platform. This initiative has brought staff members closer to farmers and also made it easier for farmers to learn more about electricity.

In a village in Pingluo county, a farmer experienced the convenience and efficiency of this service firsthand. When his vegetable greenhouse encountered an electricity issue, he needed only to mention it in the WeChat group, and staff members quickly arrived. This service model has garnered praise from growers and villagers alike.
State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply said it is committed to continuously improving its services and providing support for spring farming production.
