It is expected that strong gusts of magnitude 12 to 13 may occur in parts of New Taipei and the coastal and mountainous areas of the northern coast of Keelung. Taipower has been prepared to continue emergency repairs. In order to give full play to Taipower's spirit of working as one, Taipower Corporation has coordinated support manpower from the southern district and is expected to start emergency repairs one after another early tomorrow morning.

Taipower's Keelung District Sales Office thanked the public for providing power outage information during the typhoon through the "Taiwan Electric Power APP", and also thanked public opinion representatives for their concern about the progress of emergency repairs. Emergency power repairs must be carried out in the order of "power supply hub substation, main line, branch line", and priority is given to public facilities such as trains, tap water and communications, so it is impossible to meet the power restoration needs of all users at the same time. Taipower will continue to make every effort to repair the problem. Affected users are asked to be patient and considerate.
