CTOnews.com June 23 news, according to South Korean media Business Post reported that due to the global climate anomaly, TSMC has a high probability of power shortage this summer.

▲ source: TSMC reported that the possibility of TSMC suffering from power shortages in summer is rising rapidly. In recent years, the growth of local power generation has been slow, but the electricity demand of semiconductor enterprises such as TSMC has increased significantly. The report pointed out that at present, TSMC is the local enterprise with the largest electricity consumption, accounting for about 6% of the total electricity consumption in Taiwan. The power consumption of EUV equipment used in advanced processes such as 3 nm is more than 10 times that of traditional DUV equipment.

The report also said that the power shortage in northern Vietnam has affected Samsung Electronics' smartphone factory, and Samsung is closely monitoring the power supply situation in Vietnam. CTOnews.com noted that Kim Yang-jae, a researcher at Doyle Securities, said that half of Vietnam's electricity depends on hydroelectric power, but the current storage capacity of the reservoir is less than half. According to reports, due to the impact of record high temperatures, power supply can not meet industrial demand, and power outages have occurred in many places in Vietnam.

Samsung Electronics is in a tougher situation at its semiconductor plant in Austin, Texas, where semiconductors consume much more power than assembled phones, Bloomberg reported. According to Bloomberg, Texas's power reserve capacity rate will fall to 5.3%, well below the state's alert level of 13.75%.

Texas Governor Abbott has issued a summer power blackout warning, asking users to save electricity on Tuesday afternoon. In addition, due to the hot weather, Texas electricity prices have risen 80% to $4500 per megawatt hour (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 32310 yuan).
