TAIPEI - Taiwan is gradually restoring power supply, the state-run power operator said on Thursday , after much of the island's south and five million households were hit by an outage caused by a malfunction at a major power generation plant.The company blamed a problem with a transformer at the Hsinta power plant in the southern city of Kaohsiung for causing a trip at an ultra-high voltage substation.

Power should start being restored in southern Taiwan from mid-day, she added, although it was not immediately clear what triggered the problem. The Hsinchu science park, home to many large semiconductor companies such as TSMC, said it did not suffer outages. President Tsai Ing-wen has ordered an investigation and restoration of power as soon as possible, her office said.
