This was reported by the Taiwanese publication TechNews, citing statements by representatives of Nanya Technology, which were made by Wednesday evening. A power failure caused some equipment to stop operating for twenty minutes, but no employees were injured. A full assessment of the damage will take some time, but Nanya now estimates that it ranged from $9.3 to $15.5 million. Not all Nanya production lines are equipped with backup power sources; only the most critical areas have such protection.

The Micron Technology enterprise, which is located in the same area of ​​the island, was not affected by the power supply incident. This manufacturer reported only a short-term voltage drop at this enterprise; equipment operation did not stop as a result.
