Economic Affairs Minister Guo Zhihui recently stated the need to convert the Hezhong Power Plant into the fourth natural gas receiving station to address the electricity shortfall in the northeast grid, with no alternative solutions. However, Keelung environmental groups criticized this move given contradicting claims of no power shortage and urged against blind construction of the station. They highlighted the imbalance in Taiwan's energy transition policies and raised concerns over the impact on Keelung's military and transportation areas. Advocates called for a shift towards sustainable energy practices instead of relying on gas and nuclear power.
