Taipower has been hit hard by multiple power outages recently. Opposition parties accused it of being a power shortage. Taipower General Manager Wang Yaoting complained about the injustice of his colleagues and subsequently resigned to take responsibility. The Executive Yuan and the Ministry of Economic Affairs tried their best to express their condolences. A Taipower spokesperson made a video to express his opinion. Compared with 10 years ago, related accidents have decreased by about 70%. It is really unfair to smear and misinterpret with political slander. Taipower’s labor union also rarely issued a statement to express support. We hope that President Xi Jinping will The manager stayed.

Taiwan Power Spokesperson Tsai Chi-Meng mentioned in the video, “Some political slanders, describing power distribution accidents as power shortages, smearing and misinterpreting decades-old demand-side management, are unfair to colleagues in the electrical industry, and targeting colleagues who dare to If you have the courage to take responsibility for your work, the company and the labor union will be the strongest backing for your colleagues.”

Faced with a power shortage on April 15, Taoyuan experienced four power outages in five days. Taipower became the target of public criticism. Legislators from both the ruling and opposition parties criticized the power shortage, and the energy policy was reviewed again. Taipower General Manager Wang Yaoting was reluctant to give up the stable power supply to his colleagues, but was misunderstood. On the 20th, he was angry And resign. Taipower stated on the 21st that regional power outages have nothing to do with power shortages. It is even more difficult to say harsh words. Taipower should not be used as a political offensive and defensive tool. Vicious words are unfair to colleagues. Cai Zhimeng also responded to the recent public concern about regional power outages. The situation in the Taoyuan area is related to equipment failures and heavy thunderstorms.

Wu Youbin, chairman of the Taipower Labor Union, accepted a telephone interview. He said that many emergency repair colleagues felt unfair and had repeatedly reported to the union, “Being amplified and hyped by interested people, people from all walks of life have a lot of doubts and distrust about the stability of Taipower’s power supply. We must defend our Work dignity, on the one hand, we must also support our general manager.”

The Taipower Labor Union issued a rare statement in support of the Hualien earthquake, which caused a power outage to 350,000 households. It was a very challenging task to restore 70% of the power within one hour and 90% of the power within two hours. Later, a small-scale power outage occurred, and it was also plagued by false information and hyped, causing public misunderstanding. The general manager resigned and took charge, and his colleagues were shocked, thinking that he was a well-loved and good supervisor. In 2022, there was a blackout on March 3, 2022. Dong Zong resigned, which had sacrificed two Taipower supervisors. The union called on Wang Yaoting to stay, otherwise there would be internal instability and the company How to “stabilize power supply”?

Wu Youbin, chairman of the Taipower Labor Union, said: “(I) have been on-site emergency repair for more than 20 years. With the improvement of power supply equipment and wiring, the overall accidents have dropped significantly. This may still not meet the expectations of many people.”

Taipower has produced data showing that the number of power outages caused by power distribution accidents has dropped from more than 20,000 in 2012 to more than 6,000 last year, a decrease of 70% in the past 10 years. In particular, the reduction was nearly 1/4 last year, which was the largest improvement in 10 years. . In addition to affirming Wang Yaoting’s professionalism and dispatching ability, the Executive Yuan also asked the Ministry of Economic Affairs to strongly express its condolences.
