Taipei, Aug. 29 (CNA) A group of Filipino migrant workers gathered in front of the Control Yuan in Taipei on Monday, calling for an investigation into the handling of their complaints to the local government labor office in Kaohsiung.
About 5.49 million households yesterday lost power in one of the nation’s largest power disruptions since 2017 due to a switch malfunction at Kaohsiung’s Hsinta Power Plant (興達電廠), the Ministry of Economic Affairs said.
The incident sent the power plant offline, leading to a circuit malfunction at the Longqi Extra High Voltage Substation (龍崎超高壓變電所), which caused several power plants in the south to shut down.
About 10.5 million kilowatts was lost during the incident, Taiwan Power Co (Taipower, 台電) said.
The Hsinta plant accounts for about 6 percent of the nation’s electricity production.
