XUZHOU, China, Feb. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- "Cables and lamps must be connected tightly, otherwise they will be hot due to poor contact, which will lead to fire accidents...." On February 5, the State Grid held a power protection mobilization meeting in Yaowan Ancient Town Scenic Spot, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, to prepare for the upcoming Spring Festival Lamp Festival. "Every year, the popularity of the Lamp Festival is very strong, which is my ninth year to participate in the layout of the lamp show, and I am very honored." said by Wu Xiaodong, an employee of STATE GRID XUZHOU POWER SUPPLY COMPANY.
