Massive Outages stoke power grid fears in Taiwan
27-07-2022, 11:12 PM
About 3,982 households in New Taipei City’s Sinjhuang District (新莊) lost power yesterday, which Taipower said was due to damage in the power grid. That outage followed a blackout in Yilan County’s Suao Township (蘇澳) on Sunday night, after a component broke down, leaving 2,095 households in the dark and cutting power to traffic lights in neighboring areas. On Saturday night, a blackout affected 953 food stands in Taichung’s Fengjia Night Market (逢甲夜市). Some stand owners said the financial effects were greater than that of the COVID-19 pandemic. Taipower attributed that outage to overloaded transformers as power usage surged. Squirrels and birds were blamed for smaller outages in Kaohsiung on Friday and Thursday last week.
