Concerns arise over potential power supply impact with the upcoming decommissioning of reactors one and two at the Hengchun Nuclear Power Plant in Pingtung. To address the power gap, the Economic Ministry is reportedly considering renewing a contract with the Mailiao Coal-Fired Power Plant for continued electricity supply. Some KMT legislators argue that extending operations at Nuclear Power Plant Three is the proper approach to maintain Taiwan's power supply. The potential extension of the contract leads to worries about air quality in certain regions. The current administration's energy policies have also faced criticism for their impact on public health and environmental concerns, particularly in central Taiwan.
