The steady electricity supply plays a crucial role in driving this productive momentum.

Staff members from the Yantai Power Supply under the State Grid has been visiting enterprises to aid in conducting electrical safety inspections, reducing energy consumption and ensuring power reliability for the transformation and advancement of the small engineering machinery industry towards intelligent manufacturing.

Laizhou stands out as the national hub for small engineering machinery, commanding 70 percent share of the national market, according to statistics from the city government.

The city's Shahe town is the major base for engineering machinery equipment production, boasting a comprehensive industrial chain from component processing to complete machine assembly.

As the urban manufacturing sector transitions towards intelligence and automation, there is a rising demand for electricity. In response to this increasing requirement, Yantai Power Supply has constructed several substations and upgraded 20 kilometers of high and low voltage lines to meet the expanding needs within the city.
