Taiwan: Power Plant Malfunction Leaves Millions Without Power
14 May 2021
Rolling blackouts left 4 million people in Taiwan without electricity for several hours Thursday after the Singda Power Plant in Kaohsiung City reportedly suffered a grid malfunction.
“At 2:37 pm, a malfunction at an ultra-high-voltage substation in Kaohsiung’s Lujhu District triggered four generators at the Singda plant to go offline, cutting power output by 2.2 million kilowatts and prompting Taipower [the state-run Taiwan Power Company] to initiate rolling blackouts nationwide as it worked on the problem,” the
Taipei Times reported on May 13.
“Rumors that we ran out of power or something went wrong with the Singda plant are false. This is a grid malfunction,” Taipower spokesman Chang Ting-shu told reporters at a press conference in Taipei on Thursday.
