In New Taipei City and Kaohsiung, power outages affecting over ten thousand households occurred on the evening of June 27. Taiwan Power Company swiftly resolved the issue, but public inconvenience sparked criticism with some sarcastically saying, 'Taiwan doesn't lack electricity.' Amid government claims of no power shortage, an energy-saving program will begin in July, switching smart air conditioners to fan mode remotely. The opposition party questions the government's stance, comparing it to historical references and urging for more sustainable energy sources. Industry experts raise concerns about Taiwan's reliance on coal-generated power and suggest transitioning to more environmentally friendly options to prevent further disruptions and maintain industrial competitiveness.
