On June 10, 2024, Taiwan's industry is concerned about stable power supply. In order to assist businesses in reducing carbon emissions, Minister of Economic Affairs Guo Zhihui proposed the concept of 'electric power differentiation' after taking office, where electricity will be categorized into three tiers - regular, low-carbon, and pure green, similar to different compartments on a high-speed rail.
