Ik kreeg van Jean-Pierre Skalamera, de european marketing manager van Abit, bericht dat de problemen met de stroomtoevoer in Taiwan voorbij zijn:
For all of you concerned about the situation in Taiwan, I would like to refer you to following link announcing the end of Power shortages in Taiwan. www.eurotrademag.com/news/99oct11/1011f.htmSince last Saturday the ABIT factory in Taoyuan also has normal power supply. [break] Uit dat nieuwartikel van Eurotrade: [/break] Due to temporary power relay lines set up by the state-owned Taiwan Power Company, power rationing to subscribers in Northern Taiwan has ended.
For a brief period, it was feared that torrential downpour central part of Taiwan brought on by Typhoon Dan over the weekend would hurt the fragile new lines, but it did not. However, full repair of the island-wide power system is expected to take up to two years.
In view of the industrial losses resulting from the power outage caused by last month's earthquake, the government plans to set up incentives to encourage local manufacturers to install power generating facilities of their own and speed up the lifting of the ban on private-owned power companies.
