Taipower dispatched personnel to repair a broken high-voltage line on Haishan East Street in Luzhu District.

Typhoon Qiangbi is approaching. According to statistics from the Taoyuan District Business Office of Taiwan Electric Power Company, before 3 o'clock this afternoon, the number of households affected by the power outage due to the typhoon was about 15,000. Taipower's Taoyuan District Office mobilized nearly 250 people and 74 aerial vehicles and crane trucks to devote all its energy to emergency repairs. Currently, 97% of the power has been restored, and about 400 households are still without power.

Taipower's Taoyuan District Office stated that due to the impact of the typhoon and peripheral circulation, strong winds caused many trees and bamboos to collapse, break power lines, and trip out many high-voltage lines in coastal areas. The main affected areas include Guanyin, Dayuan, Luzhu District, etc. There are currently about 400 households without power, and personnel will continue to be actively repaired in the wind and rain. In some areas with strong wind and rain, the repair progress will be adjusted on a rolling basis depending on the wind and rain conditions, and the power supply is expected to be restored as soon as possible.

If the wires fall, are exposed, or are entangled, Taipower Taoyuan District Office reminds the public not to touch, pick up, or hook them by themselves to avoid electric shock accidents, and to immediately use the 24-hour 1911 customer service line to report to Taipower personnel for handling.
