Latest from Taiwan Economic Times Taiwan Economic News publish.gio.gov.tw Taipower announces detailed power cut plans for 2 weeks Taipei, Sept. 23, 1999 (CENS)--While the state-run Taiwan Power Company has been working around the clock to fix its power transmission network ravaged by the mega-earthquake, it decided to curtail power supply to northern Taiwan for two weeks starting Sept. 27. Taipower said it was forced to cut the power supply on a rotation basis mainly because of the serious damage to its transmission system that still prevents the transmission of electricity from southern Taiwan to the northern area.
