One of Taiwan’s top businessmen is expressing concerns about the power supply.

Far Eastern group CEO Douglas Hsu says the group has already taken measures
to reduce their electricity consumption, but he’s still worried about
potential power rationing.

He says any rationing could force the group to shut down its production
lines.

With local power reserves recently often dropping to under 5 percent, Hsu
says Taiwan really needs to maintain a 15 percent reserve, which is the
standard worldwide, in order to avoid sudden power loss.

Despite these concerns, Hsu says he has no intention of taking Far Eastern’s
operations outside of Taiwan.

He says the group will continue its investment in the country while replacing
old equipment with newer, more energy-efficient versions.    [SOURCE]
