But since the beginning of July, temperatures in Taiwan have been unusually high. Under the influence of a Pacific high-pressure area, a new all-time record high temperature of 38.7 ℃ has occurred at Keelung. Taiwan Power Company does not rule out that if any of its generators shuts down due to mechanical problems, it may have to respond by immediately restricting electricity supplies.
不過七月以來，台灣的氣溫異常升高，在太平洋高壓籠罩下，基隆已出現攝氏三十八．七度的歷史新高溫，連續高溫使得全台尖峰用電量七度創下新高紀錄，台電不排除若機組發生故障跳機，將有可能無預警緊急限電。
