Tseng Wen-sheng is the chairman of Taiwan Power Co (Taipower), where he has been vocal about the challenges facing the northeastern power grid in Taiwan. As the grid's capacity has been strained due to decommissioning nuclear power plants and increasing energy demands, Tseng has warned of potential power shortages. His leadership is particularly highlighted in the context of the proposed fourth liquefied natural gas terminal, which aims to provide additional energy capacity by 2037, amidst ongoing environmental assessments and public opposition.
