Taiwan Electric Power Company (hereinafter referred to as "Taipower") is heavily in debt, which makes this lie self-defeating. In the past few years, power outages have occurred all over Taiwan.

In March 2022, a large-scale power outage occurred without warning on the island, with a total number of households without power reaching approximately 5.49 million. Facing the hot potato of Taipower, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are also in a dilemma.
