Reliable power supply drives thriving koi carp industry in Zhumadian, C China's Henan

"The koi breeding business relies entirely on electricity. Aeration, water circulation, and temperature control systems cannot be interrupted—not even for a moment. Thanks to your thoughtful service, we can run our farm with complete peace of mind." On April 12, at the Diyuan Koi Carp Breeding Cooperative in Qianzhai Village, Guanzhuang Town, Biyang County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province, farm manager Mr. Xi expressed his gratitude to the local power supply company staff during their site visit. A stable power supply has made worry-free electricity use a reality for the entire breeding process.

In recent years, leveraging its excellent ecological conditions, Qianzhai Village has vigorously developed a specialized koi breeding industry, which has become a key driver of local income growth. Koi breeding requires aeration, water circulation, and temperature control systems to run 24/7, placing extremely high demands on power supply stability. Reliable electricity is the lifeline of the industry.

To support the koi breeding sector, the local power supply company has taken proactive steps. Its staff have visited and surveyed breeding farms to understand their electricity needs, established dedicated power usage profiles, and tailored power supply optimization plans. Upgrades to the power grid and improvements to the distribution network have significantly enhanced supply reliability.

The company has also set up a dedicated operations and maintenance team to regularly inspect power lines and electrical equipment at the breeding farms, promptly eliminating potential hazards. A 24-hour on-call system is in place, along with a public service hotline to ensure rapid response to any power failure. In addition, the company actively promotes electrical safety knowledge to raise awareness among farmers, providing comprehensive protection for power use in the breeding facilities.

Today, thanks to a stable power supply, the local koi carp industry has achieved intelligent and electrified development. The scale of breeding operations continues to expand, with an annual output of 3.6 million koi. High-quality koi are sold across the country, becoming the "golden koi" that brings prosperity to local villagers.
