According to international reports, Taiwan, a global semiconductor powerhouse, is facing a power shortage, raising concerns about potential troubles for the chip industry. With over 97% of its energy reliant on imports, including coal and natural gas, Taiwan's heavy reliance on other countries makes it vulnerable to energy supply disruptions. Experts have highlighted the critical issue of Taiwan's power shortage due to factors like an aging grid, low electricity prices driving up demand, and the impacts on semiconductor production if power interruptions become more frequent in the future, potentially slowing down chip manufacturing and raising global semiconductor prices.
