BEIJING, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- In response to ongoing snow and freezing rain, the State Grid Huitong Power Supply Company in central China's Hunan Province has activated emergency measures following the issuance of a blue ice coverage warning. The staff members of the company have intensified inspections of high-altitude areas and ice-prone power lines on Thursday to safeguard the stability and reliability of the electricity supply.
To mitigate the impact of freezing weather, the company has deployed teams to key areas, equipping them with precision tools such as calipers, anemometers, and thermometers to measure ice thickness, wind speed, and temperature. Data from the inspections is promptly reported, and any identified risks are addressed immediately to prevent potential failures.
"This area is highly susceptible to ice accumulation, especially in windy conditions. Even as temperatures rise slightly, we remain vigilant to ensure safety," said a staff member of the company.
The company remains focused on weather monitoring, dynamic analysis of ice accumulation trends, and load forecasting. Emergency repair teams are on standby, ready to respond promptly to any disruptions. The company reaffirms its commitment to delivering uninterrupted power supply for local residents and businesses, regardless of the challenges posed by severe weather.
