An apple harvest powered by electricity

It is reported that Weihai boasts an apple planting area spanning 90,000 mu (6,000 hectares), featuring 5 orchards exceeding 1,000 mu, and 70 orchards surpassing 200 mu. The region offers 21 varieties, including Red Fuji, Weihai Jin and Wanglian, yielding an annual output of 230,000 tons. By establishing the Modern Apple Co-Prosperity Party Building Alliance, the city has leveraged party-building efforts to drive industrial growth and foster development through services. Consequently, the apple industry has undergone a transformation from mere volume increase to enhanced efficiency, with the annual output value surpassing 2 billion yuan ($284.7 million).

With the industrial transformation and upgrading, all aspects of apple cultivation, production and sales rely heavily on a reliable and stable power supply. For a long time, the State Grid Weihai Power Supply Company has been focusing on customer needs, precisely advancing the construction of a first-class rural distribution network. They have concentrated efforts on upgrading rural networks in Xiazhuang town and other areas where the apple industry is prevalent, thereby meeting the power demands of the apple industry and laying a solid foundation for rural revitalization.

Simultaneously, the State Grid Weihai Power Supply Company continues to optimize the power business environment, establishing "one-to-one" customer profiles, opening green service channels, and promptly processing power applications from fruit farmers and apple production and processing enterprises. They simplify workflows, swiftly handle power business, and implement a time-limited system for industry expansion and electricity installation, ensuring hassle-free and efficient power usage for customers.

In the next step, the State Grid Weihai Power Supply Company will continue to focus on serving rural revitalization, strengthen power grid construction, enhance the level of quality service and make reliable electricity serve as the "escort" for the sales of Weihai's distinctive agricultural products.
