In the peak of summer electricity use, Tainan City Councillors today questioned whether the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s 3-nanometer manufacturing plant will have power supply problems after it settled into Nanke. The deputy director of the Tainan City Council Economic Development Bureau, Xiao Furen, said that the power supply of the TSMC 3-nanometer process plant is flawless.
Representatives from Tainan City, including Cai Yuhui, Wang Jiazhen, and Hong Yufeng, held a press conference today and not only questioned the future supply of power to the N3 plant of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (3-nanometer process), but also questioned whether Tainan would suffer a major blackout.
Xiao Furen said that the existing power of Tainan Science Park in Southern Science Park is enough to supply TSMC's N5 plant (5-nanometer process) and the power of TSMC's N3 plant. In the future, the power will be recovered, additional temporary power substations and ultra-high-voltage substations will be installed. With local planning, power supply is flawless.
He said that Tainan has promoted solar photovoltaics for many years. The community has applied for 4650 pieces of photovoltaics, with a capacity of 445MW (megawatts), which accounts for 16% of the country. The city will also step up energy conservation and dissemination.
Nan Ke Management Director Lin Weicheng told the Central News Agency that in the construction of the TSMC N5 plant in January this year, water and electricity will be available in the next year; N3 plant is scheduled to be delivered in the middle of next year, and both the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Department of Water Resources in Taiwan have promised. N3 plant water, electricity supply no problem.
