The state-owned Taiwan Power Company emphasized the need for support electricity supplies due to the impact of the current conflict in the Middle East, with guarantees not to exceed last year's level of coal consumption.

Furthermore, the environmental impact will not exceed the requirements of Taiwan's air quality index since both of the coal-fired units were installed with wet electrostatic precipitators. which will lessen carbon emissions.

The decision to restart the coal-fired units was supported by Taiwan's economy minister since Taiwan relies heavily on liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, which have been impacted by the conflict in the Middle East. This is part of the short-term solution to strengthen Taiwan's energy dispatch.
