TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwan Power Company (Taipower, 台電) has assured residents of a stable power supply during the Lunar New Year holiday on Friday (Jan. 24) as its estimates peak electricity demand between 22.8 million and 27 million kilowatts, with a reserve margin exceeding 15%. This confidence in supply stability comes as the company prepares for the festive season's increased energy needs.

CPC Corporation, Taiwan (中油), Taipower, and Taiwan Water Corporation (台水) will deploy approximately 15,000 personnel daily during the holiday to ensure the uninterrupted supply of oil, water, and electricity. The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA, 經濟部) added that CPC has secured ample stocks of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and gasoline and diesel to meet domestic demand.

 

Meanwhile, Taiwan Water Corporation has crafted a "Lunar New Year Water Supply Response Plan" to address the expected increase in water usage. Taiwan Water Corporation predicts a daily peak water usage of 9.532 million cubic meters during the holiday, an increase of 536,000 cubic meters from regular levels. They recommend residents conduct major cleaning in advance and conserve water resources.

Taipower also advises checking electrical cords and plugs during cleaning to prevent accidents by ensuring furniture does not press on cords. Considering the travel and leisure needs during the holiday, CPC will keep key service stations open 24 hours and enhance restroom cleanliness.
