Taiwan Xingda Power Plant only had an accident on May 13, causing a major power outage in Taiwan without warning. Unexpectedly, power outages occurred in many areas across Taiwan on the evening of the 17th. According to Taiwan’s “China Times News Network” on May 19, regarding Taiwan’s two major power outages in a week, former DPP legislator Guo Zhengliang said that Wang Meihua is not suitable to be the “economic minister” and suggested that she simply step down!

Report said that Guo Zhengliang said in a live broadcast program on the 18th that Wang Meihua is not suitable to be the "Minister of Economy" because she is from the Intelligent Property Bureau. The two major units of the "Minister of Economy" are the Industrial Bureau and the "International Trade Bureau". At least these two large units can only be mastered. Taiwan is the economy supported by industry and trade, and the Intelligent Property Bureau is a small unit. He said that Wang Meihua is not familiar with international trade agreements such as FTA, and is not familiar with representatives of the industry and business circles. The difference is too far, so she suggests that she just step down!
Guo Zhengliang also said that the power outage in 2017 was out of power in the "August 15" and that day, "Economic Minister" Li Shiguang resigned, and on August 19, the chairman of CNPC resigned, because the CNPC outsourcing company made a power outage in Datan Power Plant due to the error of inserting a card by CNPC outsourcing company. Compared with this power outage, there were two power outages. As a result, Wang Meihua said that Yang Weifu, chairman of , has already requested punishment. Guo Zhengliang said that this should be stepped down directly.

Guo Zhengliang also mentioned that a sentence spoken by "Premier" Su Zhenchang was implicit. Su Zhenchang said, "Give me a week to rectify." This sentence means that there may be a power outage within a week.
Taiwan has twice had a major power outage without warning within 5 days, which has caused strong doubts about the DPP authorities' energy policy on the island. On the evening of the 17th, Taiwan Power again restricted power in partitions. This is also the second restricted power in partitions since the power outage on the 13th, affecting about 660,000 households. It resumed normal power supply at 9:40 pm.
Officials of the Executive Yuan claimed that the power outage was not caused by power shortage, but that there were some repair plans for TaiPhone and encountered a failure in Xingda Power Plant. But Taiwan Electric seems to be unable to hold on. According to Taiwan's Economic Daily on the 18th, Taiwan Electric issued a press release in the early morning of the same day, using "three numbers" to admit that "power supply is tight", and finally faced the fact that "electricity is really not enough". Taiwan Power said that the overhaul unit capacity is about 4.57 million kilowatts, accounting for more than 10% of the reserve capacity; secondly, the load at peak hours on the 17th reached 37.443 million kilowatts, 640,000 kilowatts more than expected, breaking the May electricity consumption record again; thirdly, the load is still close to 35 million kilowatts by 7:30 pm. Therefore, in order to stabilize power supply, partition power limit must be implemented in the end.
"Taiwan Electric will not act anymore", a comment published in China Times Electronic News 18 stated that this is the third major power outage during the term of the DPP authorities. Unlike the two major power outages on August 15, 2017 and May 13 this year, the crew members of China National Petroleum Corporation and Taiwan Electric came out to take responsibility for the first two times, and both set the tone "human negligence". Tsai Ing-wen and Wang Meihua even swear to tell the public after the power outage on the 13th, "Taiwan has no shortage of power, and the power grid is the problem, not the power plant." Unexpectedly, Taiwan Electric simply stopped acting this time, and directly slapped the authorities in the face, telling the public that "due to sudden load, the power supply capacity is insufficient." "If this is not a shortage of electricity, what is a shortage of electricity?"
Korean "legislator" Zheng Liwen said on Facebook on the 18th that it really makes everyone unable to bear it. Will the power off in June, July and August in the following summer vacation? "The Tsai government should immediately re-examine the wrong energy policy. Shen Rongjin, 'Executive Yuan Vice President', Wang Meihua, and TAIPO Chairman Yang Weifu should all apologize and step down and take responsibility!" [Global Network]
