It was rainy weather on Taiwan's main island on the 24th. Although it cooled down the heat island effect in recent days, many power outages occurred, triggering heated discussions. In northern Taiwan, 4,088 households were without power in the Tamsui mangrove area in the morning, and National Chengchi University also experienced a power outage in the afternoon. Southern Taiwan is not at peace either. A car accident occurred in Kaohsiung during the day and a transformer box was damaged. There was a power outage. At 18:00 in the evening, due to a tripped feeder, 326 households in Tainan City's Yujing District and Nanxi District also reported a power outage. At 18:06, 655 households in Neihu District, Taipei City were out of power, which also affected the recording of TV stations. In response, Taoyuan City Councilor Ling Tao, a disciple of Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun, said, "Who dares to say that Taiwan does not lack electricity?"
According to Taiwanese media reports, a total of 655 households were out of power at 6 pm on the 24th in Ruiguang Road, Jiangnan Street, Sunshine Street, and Ruihu Street in Neihu District, Taipei City. Afterwards, the back office claimed that it was an underground cable failure. Taipower immediately transferred power through the lines and restored power to 430 households within 3 minutes. It also isolated the fault area and restored power to all households at 6:50 p.m. Ling Tao also shared the situation on his Facebook page.
"The biggest crisis is real! Who dares to say that Taiwan is not short of electricity?" Ling Tao revealed that when the program was being recorded in the evening, he was talking about Taiwan's military defense. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden power outage, which directly affected the program recording. "Before the opponent comes, the energy issue has become Taiwan's biggest crisis, and it is happening right before our eyes!" This is true even for the Neihu Science Park. Can Taiwan really have energy stability to face the coming computing energy-consuming industries? Taiwan relies on imports for more than 80% of its energy. Once the import waters are blocked, will it survive? I hope the officials tell the truth.
Wang Hongwei, the deputy representative of the Kuomintang, also issued an article questioning, "Within one day, there was a power outage in Danshui, Neihu, and Zhengda... The DPP said: Is there really no 'power shortage'?" The uneasy power outage day brought constant twists and turns.
