According to Taiwan's "China Times News Network" report, the economic department of the Taiwan authorities is expected to raise electricity prices from April, and the increase in large industrial and commercial electricity consumers is estimated to reach 10%, far higher than the people's livelihood housing, in this regard, Xu Xudong, chairman of the Far Eastern Group, shouted on February 21, hoping that the increase in electricity prices is not only for large households. Wang Meihua, head of Taiwan's economic department, responded that the reason why large electricity consumers have to bear more responsibility (increase) is mainly to think of (promoting) energy conservation.
In order to prevent Taipower's finances from exploding, the increase in electricity prices is already on the way, and Wang Meihua also mentioned a few days ago that she will consider letting large electricity consumers bear more obligations to mitigate the impact on people's livelihood. Xu Xudong, who is also the chairman of U-Ming Marine Shipping, held a New Year group meeting on the 21st, saying that he did not oppose the natural adjustment of electricity prices, but hoped that it would not be only for large households.

Wang Meihua stressed that the opinions of all walks of life will be viewed cautiously, and at present, Taipower still needs to obtain financial support (subsidies) from the Taiwan authorities, and then evaluate the impact of the adjustment on Taipower's financial structure and different levels (all walks of life), and then decide on the power transmission price.
