State Grid Jinchang Power Supplies Tailors Services to Boost Fertilizer Firm’s Winter Production

JINCHANG, China, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company has launched a targeted power service initiative for Gansu Xinyangfeng Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., a key fertilizer producer in northwest China’s Gansu Province, on November 24, ensuring stable electricity supply for agricultural production material manufacturing during the winter season.

As a leading enterprise in China’s phosphate compound fertilizer industry, Gansu Xinyangfeng plays a vital role in securing agricultural input supplies for the Hexi Corridor and the broader northwest China region. With winter marking a critical period for fertilizer production to support next year’s spring sowing, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company dispatched professional teams to conduct on-site inspections of the firm’s power distribution systems, electrical equipment, and production lines. The service included troubleshooting potential power risks, optimizing load allocation, and providing technical guidance for energy-efficient operations, laying a solid electrical foundation for the enterprise’s full-capacity production.

“Fertilizer production relies heavily on continuous and stable power. The tailored power services from State Grid have eliminated our concerns about production interruptions in winter,” said a production manager at Gansu Xinyangfeng.

Going forward, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company will continue to monitor the power demands of agricultural-related enterprises in its jurisdiction, strengthen real-time grid operation monitoring, and refine service measures. By delivering high-quality and efficient power support, the company aims to safeguard local agricultural production stability and drive the high-quality development of agro-industrial enterprises, sending a “warm current of electricity” to propel rural revitalization in the cold winter months.

This initiative forms part of State Grid Corporation of China’s broader strategy to support rural revitalization through reliable power infrastructure, highlighting the critical role of electricity in underpinning agricultural supply chains and regional economic development in rural China.

Upgraded “Sky Sentinels” Safeguard: State Grid Jinchang Enhances Efficiency of Visual Monitoring System

JINCHANG, China, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 17, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company launched a special maintenance campaign for video monitoring devices. By adopting a combined strategy of “precision maintenance + scientific supplementary installation”, the company has fully activated the efficiency of the visual monitoring system and built a solid intelligent protection barrier for power transmission corridors.

As the “aorta” of the power grid, transmission lines often span complex terrains such as mountains and valleys, with some sections located in micro-meteorological areas. Traditional manual inspection is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to supervision blind spots in severe weather. Since the first batch of video monitoring devices was put into operation, these 24/7 “Sky Sentinels” have become a core force in preventing wildfires and external damage. However, due to long-term exposure to outdoor environments, they have gradually developed “health risks” such as lens contamination, communication interruptions, and component aging; in addition, there are still monitoring gaps in some important crossing areas, which restricts the full release of intelligent operation and maintenance efficiency. This special campaign has established a “full-lifecycle management and control” system. In the equipment maintenance phase, technicians carry professional testing instruments to conduct a “carpet-style inspection”, focusing on checking key indicators such as power supply stability and data transmission quality, and replacing aging components “on the spot upon detection” to ensure a 100% defect handling rate for the equipment; in the supplementary installation and optimization phase, staff accurately identify accident-prone sections and crossing areas based on historical fault data and line risk maps, and adopt a new generation of monitoring equipment with AI intelligent recognition functions to realize automatic capture of hidden dangers and real-time alarms.

State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company will incorporate the operation and maintenance of video monitoring devices into the standardized management system, and plans to complete equipment renovation and system upgrading for all lines under its jurisdiction by the end of this year. By integrating monitoring data with AI analysis algorithms, the company strives to achieve a transformation from “passive response” to “proactive early warning”, promoting the operation and maintenance of transmission lines to truly enter a new stage of “lean management” and providing solid support for the safe and stable operation of the regional power grid.

Asia-Pacific Delegates Gather in Laos’ Vientiane to Advance Agroecology at TARASA25

The international conference “Transitioning Towards Agroecology and Regenerative Agriculture: A Contribution to Food Systems Transformation (TARASA25)," took Vientiane from 25 to 27 November. (Photo supplied)

The international conference “Transitioning Towards Agroecology and Regenerative Agriculture: A Contribution to Food Systems Transformation (TARASA25)” is taking place in Vientiane from 25 to 27 November.

The three-day gathering brings together researchers, farmers, policymakers, youth leaders, civil society representatives, and private-sector actors from across the Asia-Pacific to share knowledge, innovations, and strategies for sustainable food systems. 

On 24 November, a pre-event, introduced the newly adopted ASEAN Agroecology Guidelines, marking an important step in harmonizing sustainable agriculture practices across the region.

Agroecology, a holistic approach integrating science, traditional knowledge, and social innovation, aims to make farming productive, equitable, and resilient. Rooted in FAO’s ten principles, it promotes biodiversity, recycling, efficiency, and co-creation of knowledge to shift agriculture from input-intensive systems toward regenerative, inclusive, and climate-resilient models.

Speakers highlight the region’s urgent challenges: climate change is intensifying droughts and floods, soil degradation reduces fertility, monocropping threatens biodiversity, and rural inequality limits market access for smallholders. With 450 million smallholder farmers and nearly 2 billion people depending on agriculture, experts emphasize the need for immediate action.

Delegates shared success stories from across the region: India’s Community Managed Natural Farming reaches over 700,000 farmers; agroforestry systems in Laos and Vietnam combine rice, legumes, and trees to improve soils and incomes; and women-led organic farming and seed-saving initiatives in Pacific Islands enhance nutrition and cultural identity. FAO and partners note that agroecological practices can cut input costs by up to 40 percent and restore degraded soils.

Throughout 27 November’s final sessions, participants are exploring policy alignment, farmer-centered innovation, research collaboration, and financing models that can accelerate agroecological transitions. Organizers note that transforming food systems requires collective commitment and cross-sector partnerships.

TARASA25 provides a regional platform linking science, policy, and practice to build food systems that are resilient, equitable, and regenerative across the Asia-Pacific.

Hosted by the Lao Facilitated Initiative on Agroecology for ASEAN (LICA) and supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, TARASA25 is funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), European Union (EU), and the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM). Partner organizations including FAO, GRET, CIRAD, Swisscontact, and regional agroecology networks are actively contributing technical expertise and research findings.
