Taiwan Is Facing Its Worst Rainfall in 75 Years, and the Hardest-Hit Area Is Exactly Where TSMC’s Most Advanced Fabs Are

Taiwan has recorded its lowest rainfall in 75 years, with western regions facing severe water shortages.

Hsinchu, home to many of TSMC's most advanced fabs, received a yellow water warning but no immediate production impact was reported.

Local authorities are implementing drought-resistant and water-efficiency measures ahead of hotter months.

Separately, Taiwan's electricity depends on LNG and regional supply strains from the Middle East have reduced national reserves.
