蔡政府說謊，誠信破功！王美花立刻請辭下台！
針對台電再次無預警分區停電，中國國民黨今(17)日晚間表示，距離上次興達電廠出事停電才四天，台電又再次讓台灣大停電，全民飽受缺電、缺水之苦，三天兩頭停電，顯示台灣電力的備轉容量絕非政府所宣稱的足夠，更凸顯民進黨能源政策的失當與無能！全台在防疫緊急關頭時還要飽受缺電的摧殘，國民黨嚴正要求經濟部長王美花應下台以謝國人！
國民黨指出，蔡政府掩蓋缺電的事實一再說謊，513大停電後，行政部門還大做梗圖，宣稱台灣不缺電，事隔四天，全台又再次大停電，顯示政府信用破產，蔡政府把重要的能源政策當兒戲，掩蓋缺電的事實，誠信完全破功。
國民黨表示，目前全台疫情緊張，許多國人待在家中配合防疫，炎熱的夜晚還要配合台電無預警輪流停電，停電加上疫情，多少國人情何以堪！國民黨呼籲民進黨明確告訴國人，台電確實的備轉容量究竟是多少？何時才能有穩定的電力供應？上次無預警全台停電，蔡英文向國人道歉，相隔四天又斷電，蔡英文難道還要再次道歉了事？經濟部長王美花還有臉不請辭下台？
KMT: Economics Minister Wang Mei-Hua Must Step Down Immediately for Bad Faith
Once again, forced power outages swept across Taiwan. “Four days after the last power failure at Hsinta (興達) Power Plant, Taipower company again subjected the Taiwanese people to a large-scale power outage,” the Kuomintang (KMT) said this evening (5/17).
People are suffering from power and water shortage, and the blackout every other day suggests Taiwan’s power operating reserve isn’t remotely as adequate as the government has claimed it is. Further, the outrageous farce on display over the last couple of days underlines the incompetence and deficiencies of DPP’s energy policy. The result, unfortunately, is Taiwan has to endure power shortages while battling Covid-19, no less. Ergo, the KMT is vehemently demanding Wang Mei-Hua (王美花) resign as Economics Minister.
The KMT points out the Tsai administration has repeatedly equivocated or outright lied about power shortage. In the aftermath of the 513 Blackout, the executive branch even made a chart touting Taiwan’s power stability and security. Ironically enough, four days later, Taiwan once again slumped into a blackout. The central government has sullied its credibility. The Tsai administration has proven unable to preserve Taiwan’s energy security, sidestepped the incontrovertible truth of our power shortage, and betrayed Taiwanese citizens’ trust.
With infections on the rise nationwide, many are understandably staying at home per the health authorities, as is welcome by the KMT. But even when hunkered down at home to stave off Covid-19, our citizens still have to endure unnotified power interruption at scorching night. The KMT calls upon the DPP to disclose the power operating reserve capacity. Meantime, the DPP must also expressly tell our citizens when the power stability can be fully restored. The last time Taiwan’s power went out without warning and President Tsai apologized to our citizens. Yet four days later, it's deja vu all over again. This time, apologies from the powers that be won’t do much good. Instead, for accountability’s sake, the Economics Minister must step down.
