Affected by the decline in demand in the international market, the production momentum of various industries in Taiwan has shrunk. In the first half of 2022, the growth of industrial electricity consumption will mainly be supported by semiconductors, and in the second half of the year, it will rely on the growth of private service industry electricity consumption released by the slowdown of the epidemic.

Traditional industries such as the chemical materials industry, plastic and rubber industry, and steel industry have experienced negative growth in electricity consumption since the beginning of 2022. Since the third quarter, the electricity boom light has turned blue, and the industry boom has declined significantly or is in a downturn.
Electricity consumption in the computer, electronic and optical products industries fluctuated and fell, and the industrial prosperity was declining.
