In Taoyuan, Districts Zhongli and Bade suffered a power outage affecting 4961 households early in the morning, attributed to a squirrel incident that caused a high-voltage line interruption, with Taipower promptly resolving the issue, restoring power to 4450 households within hours and the remaining 511 later. This incident follows a previous power outage at a hospital caused by a similar squirrel-related incident. Taipower also explains a separate incident in the same area where a squirrel caused a momentary voltage drop, prompting a manual reset and delay in full restoration until the morning.
