As spring arrives, the Yellow River awakens, and the surrounding landscape bursts into life with budding grass and trees. Along the banks of the Yellow River in Danianchen town, Huimin county, Binzhou city, Shandong Province, stretches of peach blossoms create an unforgettable sight.

Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CPC Central Committee has made significant strategic decisions on ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, driven by the perspective of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and civilization.

For the Yellow River Basin, the need to develop new quality productivity is particularly pressing. The State Grid Binzhou Power Supply Company has taken the initiative to serve ecological protection and high-quality development in the region. In recent years, the company has improved rural power supply services through initiatives such as township power supply stations, "village network construction," and convenient service points. These efforts have empowered the harmonious development of rural areas, boosted agricultural production efficiency, and enhanced the livelihoods of local farmers.

Facing the shift of traditional agriculture towards electrification and intelligence, the State Grid Binzhou Power Supply Company is leveraging modern information technologies such as cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, mobile Internet, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain. These technologies enhance internal operations and external analysis, with a focus on digital initiatives like load management, unmanned aerial vehicle autonomous inspection, and substation intelligent inspection. Through these efforts, the company explores power big data integration scenarios and applies data from multiple sectors such as agriculture and industry, thereby empowering traditional businesses with new quality productivity and contributing to the high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.

As temperatures rise and spring plowing and irrigation commence in Huimin county, to ensure the production and income increase of characteristic agricultural products like peaches, blueberries, and watermelons, the company extends its service reach by organizing the Rainbow Party Member Service Team to conduct "manual + drone" line inspections on spring farming and irrigation lines, promptly identifying and addressing any safety hazards. Through the electricity consumption information collection system, special monitoring of customer load during spring plowing and irrigation is initiated. Information technology allows for close monitoring of voltage and electricity consumption data in well areas of spring irrigation machines. Any abnormal electricity consumption, such as heavy overload or significant fluctuations, prompts immediate troubleshooting by on-site staff to ensure the safety and reliability of spring plowing and irrigation electricity consumption.

Looking ahead, the State Grid Binzhou Power Supply Company will continue to drive technological innovation, providing efficient intelligent power solutions for the construction of a Smart Yellow River and empowering the high-quality development of a Happy Yellow River.
