taiwan’s electricity price adjustment went live on october 16. residential electricity prices were frozen and industrial electricity prices were raised by up to 14%. however, because taipower is still in a state of loss, according to a report recently sent to taiwan’s public opinion organization, taipower is expected to support 200 billion yuan (new taiwan dollars, the same below) in subsidies. in this regard, national representative of the kuomintang hsu yu-chen said bluntly that taiwan power's near-bankruptcy problem was caused by the democratic progressive party's wrong energy policies. how can they help them pay for it by raising electricity prices and paying taxes from the taiwanese people? "it's very much like the reincarnation of a starving ghost, just to suck the blood of the people of taiwan."

xu yuzhen pointed out that taipower will lose 2,265 yuan in 2022, 199 billion yuan in 2023, and more than 420 billion yuan in two years. due to the sharp increase in international fuel prices caused by the conflict between russia and ukraine, the taiwan authorities will increase capital to taipower by 150 billion yuan in 2023 and allocate an additional 50 billion yuan in subsidies. in 2024, they will increase capital to taipower by another 100 billion yuan. so far, they have given taipower 300 billion yuan.

xu yuzhen also pointed out that in addition to raising electricity prices twice a year to save taipower, the taiwan authorities also sent a supplementary budget of 100 billion yuan in 2024 to subsidize taipower. in 2025, another 100 billion yuan will be allocated to subsidize taipower, and a supplementary budget of 200 billion yuan will be allocated. it is yet to be reviewed and approved by taiwan’s public opinion institutions. xu yuzhen asked: "we have great objections to the 200 billion yuan in subsidy funds. the problem of taiwan power being on the verge of bankruptcy is caused by the wrong energy policies of the democratic progressive party. how can we help them pay for it by raising electricity prices and paying taxes from the taiwanese people?"

xu yuzhen pointed out that after consulting taipower's budget and final accounts, it can be found that during the four-year period from 2011 to 2014, nuclear power generation generated 40 billion kilowatt-hours per year, with annual power generation costs of approximately 29 billion yuan. the utilization rate of generator equipment was as high as 90%, which is very important for all of taiwan. electricity plays a positive role. since the democratic progressive party came to power, it has suppressed nuclear energy due to ideological influence and made every effort to develop solar photovoltaics and offshore wind power, two green energy power generation sources.

according to data analysis on the island, taipower is expected to purchase 18.94 billion kwh of electricity in 2023, with a budget of 104.76 billion yuan. the estimated power purchase in 2024 is 23.47 billion kilowatt-hours, with a budget of 128.62 billion yuan; the estimated power purchase in 2025 is 28.61 billion kilowatt-hours, with a budget of 154.68 billion yuan. the three-year estimated cumulative expenditure is 388 billion yuan, with a total power purchase of 71 billion kilowatt-hours. the cost of nuclear power generation for the same power generation is estimated to be only 65 billion yuan, a gap of 320 billion yuan. xu yuzhen said that these expenses must be funded by taiwanese people's tax dollars, which is very unreasonable!

xu yuzhen criticized that if the wrong energy policy is not reviewed, the 200 billion yuan in subsidy funds should not be passed. the dpp cannot be allowed to use taipower as a "legitimate" intermediary through carefully designed wrong policies, allowing the dpp to greatly fangfang uses people's money to support his own people. she questioned who was benefiting from spending more than 100 billion every year on unstable green energy? who has received kickbacks? so far, there has been no more active investigation and investigation. zhuo rongtai, the head of taiwan's administrative agency, even visited qigu, tainan, in mid-september to visit lai qingde's friend's solar farm. what was he trying to cover up?

hsu yu-chen stressed that taipower chairman vincent tsang confirmed that there is a power shortage in northern taiwan. this just shows that the wrong energy policy has not only brought high electricity prices, but also caused power outages in northern taiwan. tens of millions of people have lost their lives in the crisis of power shortage. to solve the power shortage problem in northern taiwan, we must first break the democratic progressive party's "non-nuclear homeland" card, and also correct the democratic progressive party's erroneous energy policy.

finally, xu yuzhen pointed out that the three mile island nuclear power plant in pennsylvania, the united states, announced that it would restart in 2028, and japan has also successively approved the restart of 17 nuclear energy units by various power companies, of which 12 have already restarted operation. only the democratic progressive party authorities are shutting down taiwan's nuclear power plants one after another, plunging taiwan into a power shortage crisis, and then vigorously promoting photovoltaic and wind power, which are expensive and have unit operating rates only one-quarter of nuclear power, costing the taiwanese people an extra 120 billion yuan every year. . she angrily criticized: "the so-called policies of the dpp are like the reincarnation of a starving ghost, which is to suck the blood of the people.” (strait herald reporter in taiwan lin jingxian)
