On the evening of June 15, a sudden island-wide power outage hit Xiao Liuqiu in Pingtung, affecting many people dining and tourists during dinner time and holiday, leading to some seeking cool air on the streets and others resorting to using headlamps to eat. Pingtung County Magistrate Week Chun-mi urgently contacted Taipower Chairman Tseng Wen-sheng, and by 8:31 p.m., all power was restored after inspection and repair. Taipower explained that the outage occurred at 7:31 p.m., affecting multiple areas; due to a sudden surge in weekend crowd load, protective devices tripped, affecting 4,171 households. After quick repairs, power was fully restored by 8:31 p.m., with Taipower apologizing for the inconvenience.
