A fire at Taiwan Power Co’s (Taipower) Wanlong substation in Taipei’s Wenshan District (文山) yesterday morning caused more than 300,000 households in Taipei and New Taipei City to temporarily lose power, the Taipei City Government said, adding that there were no casualties.
The city government said that Taipower reported a mechanical malfunction at its Taipei primary substation at 10:42am yesterday, which led to the fire.
The substation’s 161 kilovolt (kV) and 69kV power supply systems were shut off, leading to a power outage in some parts of Taipei’s Muzha (木柵) area and New Taipei City’s Sindian District (新店), the city government said.
