Taipower said that only 360,000 households were affected. However, many “small public (design)” in residential community buildings use electricity every month. It is often above 1,000 degrees. For 2,000 degrees and 4,000 degrees, the electricity bill will increase by 6,000 yuan and nearly 20,000 yuan each year. The more you use it, the more you adjust it. These electricity bills will be shared by the residents of the building in each bill, and some will be paid by the management committee, which will also affect the adjustment of the overall management fee.
