TaiPower Says Power Supply Remains Stable Despite Recent Outages
Posted on 2025-09-16 18:51:13
TaiPower says recent incidents have cut 2.1 million kilowatts of electricity
from the grid—equal to about six percent of peak nighttime demand.

However, officials insist that supply remains stable.

TaiPower Chairman Tseng Wen-sheng (曾文生) says emergency reserve units have
now been activated, ensuring that nighttime reserve margins will stay above
six percent, or roughly two million kilowatts, through the end of the month.

This comes after a recent explosion at Kaohsiung’s Hsingda Power Plant
caused one of the units to suspend power generation.

And on top of that, the Linkou No. 2 coal-fired generator went offline
yesterday due to a malfunction, cutting another 800 thousand kilowatts.

Officials acknowledge the system is under pressure, but insist supply remains
stable, with repairs and inspections underway to bring capacity back to
normal by October.
