Take for example New Zealand, with a population of only 3.5 million people. Though economic growth and power demand there are not at the level of Taiwan, New Zealand still has a rationing system. There are two power circuits for each home, one for essential items and one for non-essentials. If there is a power shortage or emergency situation, then non-essential items can be shut off directly.
例如只有三百五十萬人口的紐西蘭，經濟成長、電力需求雖不如台灣，但電廠送到用戶的電有兩個回路，一個負責日常必要的照明等用電，一個負責較不急需的電器產品，真有缺電、或遇到特殊狀況，可以直接停掉非必要的電力回路。
