The extremely hot weather over the weekend caused a large increase in electricity consumption throughout Taiwan. However, yesterday (23) days, the No. 2 unit of the Taichung Thermal Power Plant broke a pipe. In addition, the electricity consumption is estimated to reach a new high. The electricity will be alerted in the next week. Today night The reserve capacity rate is likely to drop significantly to 4% to 5%. Taipower also calls on the public to increase the air-conditioning temperature to 28 degrees. After the relevant report was forwarded to PTT, the largest BBS station in Taiwan, it caused a big riot among the villagers.
Wu Jinzhong, a spokesman for Taipower, said that last Sunday, the power consumption was more than one million kwh, so the peak load this Sunday was also raised to 36 million kwh, but he emphasized that he had been informed that the maintenance unit will be shut down on Sunday to move quickly, and come back in the evening. The rate can also be more than 6%.
Wu Jinzhong said frankly that since today is Sunday, everyone may go out for shopping and travel during the day, and following returning home at night, the air conditioner will be turned on, and the use time may be longer than usual, so he appeals to the public to turn on the air conditioner, but please adjust the temperature to 28 degrees. , and with a cooling fan to cool down, reduce the power supply pressure.
In response, the villagers bombarded the Cai government, “A third world country? It also restricts the temperature of air-conditioning, a wonder of the world.” “This is not a lack of electricity, what is a lack of electricity.” “It’s 28 degrees in this kind of weather, it’s strange that it’s not hot to death.”
In addition, there are netizens who are bitter, “Alarmist, will power supply be safe by 2030?” “Which grassroots employee should be brought to justice?” “Just a joke, Taiwan does not lack electricity.” “The four disagree, The power supply is even weaker.” “The die-hards must follow the instructions, it’s better not to turn on the air conditioner.”
