When former Premier Y.S. Sun was struggling to revive Taiwan's power industry after World War Ⅱ, the government adopted a low-price policy. Pricing policy was oriented toward maintaining industrial competitiveness, and toward helping specified users and industries get a leg up. So even when all other prices rose, the cost of electricity was not allowed to increase.
在前行政院長孫運璿努力讓戰後台灣全面復電的時代，政府就採取低價供電政策，電價一直負擔維持產業競爭力、優惠特定用戶與事業的使命，當所有物價飛漲時，電價更不能漲。
