State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company Strengthens Safe Power Supply Defenses Amid High Temperatures

CHANGZHOU, China, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In recent days, Changzhou, Jiangsu, has experienced persistent high temperatures and scarce rainfall, with the power grid load remaining at high levels. State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company has responded swiftly with coordinated deployments, conducting comprehensive and targeted inspection campaigns across various electricity consumption scenarios—including smart agriculture, residential distribution areas, and high-voltage transmission corridors—to thoroughly eliminate safety hazards and ensure diverse power supply demands.

At the Jintan Muxi Farm Smart Agriculture Industrial Park, the company focused on inspecting greenhouse distribution lines, control cabinets, and leakage protection devices, utilizing infrared thermography to identify and address aging and overheating hazards, while also guiding farmers to shift electricity usage to off-peak periods to reduce production energy consumption. In residential concentration areas, inspections targeted transformer terminal connectors, leakage protectors, and internal meter-box wiring, with immediate rectification of loose, aging, or malfunctioning components and the establishment of a closed-loop ledger for tracking and control, fundamentally reducing tripping and outages at the source. Around the 500 kV substation, the company urged users to reinforce or remove lightweight floating objects such as plastic greenhouses and dust-control nets, and assisted with post-typhoon self-inspections to prevent foreign objects from tangling with overhead lines.

From smart greenhouses to residential distribution areas and high-voltage transmission corridors, this series of inspections covers diverse domains, yet the core strategy remains highly consistent: leveraging precise "manual + instrument" inspections, maintaining a dynamic closed-loop ledger of potential hazards, strengthening safety notifications and risk warnings, and forming a full-chain "detection—rectification—prevention" management approach. These solid measures not only enhance equipment health but also raise user safety awareness and emergency response capabilities, providing robust support for agricultural production, residential life, and main grid security during high-temperature periods.

Going forward, State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company will continue to intensify inspection frequency during peak heat periods, optimize grid operation modes, and leverage more refined management and more reliable electricity to safeguard the stable economic and social development of the region, ensuring safe power consumption for both production and daily life.
