On June 17, 2024, Minister of Economic Affairs Guo Zhihui stirred up discussion by stating that 'electricity prices should not be cheaper' and 'there is no need to install air conditioning in every room'. Following this, Guo clarified the next day in the legislature, attributing his controversial statement to speaking too quickly and emphasizing the importance of energy conservation. He encouraged the public to switch to energy-efficient air conditioners and refrigerators to reduce electricity costs. Guo's comments came amidst concerns over Taiwan's electricity shortage and potential solutions for more sustainable energy usage.
