FTNN News, July 4, 2024, 11:00 PM - Amid the sweltering summer, electricity usage is high, and with the shutdown of Unit 1 at Nuclear Power Plant No. 3 this month, concerns arise about power shortages. People's Party legislator Zhang Qikai expressed alarm as last night's power reserve capacity plummeted to only 4.92%, significantly lower than the claimed 7% by Taiwan Power Company. This situation, coupled with the upcoming 3.5% reduction in power generation due to the Unit 1 shutdown, questions the government's reassurances of no power shortage. Zhang recalled the April crisis when power reserve capacity was dangerously low at 3%, prompting urgent measures by the government. Taiwan Power Company faced criticism for financial losses, employee bonuses, and the need to balance profits and losses.
