Following their safe electricity inspection at the Fish and Grass Co-production Demonstration Zone in Turfan City's Shuguang Village, the staff of the State Grid Turfan Power Supply Company relied on the 'village network co-construction' work system to efficiently complete the planning and approval of the electricity plan

The demonstration area covers an area of 40 acres and includes 23 standardised fish ponds, three sets of forage planting equipment with a daily output of 10 tons. The grass yield is equivalent to that of 30,000 acres using the traditional 'land planting method'. It is part of Turfan City's 'national green food high-quality and efficient pilot area' and a key project for the development of new agricultural productivity.

According to the development model of 'fish fertiliser water, grass purification, fish farming with water, grass-feeding cattle, the water serving rate of the project has reached 60%, with the output value of the entire fish-grass symbiosis project being nearly US$1.3mn. This not only plays a key role in driving animal husbandry development, but also promotes employment opportunities for farmers in nearby areas. 

In order to ensure smooth production in the early stages of the project, the State Grid Turfan Power Supply Company put their trust in the 'village network co-construction' work system to efficiently complete the planning and approval of the electricity plan. Special personnel were also organised to carry out door-to-door telegraph installation services.They also invested in the construction of 2 km of distribution lines and installed 2,250 kVA transformers, in turn solving the power demand for project construction and operation.
