S.Korea govt offices ordered to turn off air-con to prevent power crisis
South Korea ordered government offices to turn off their air-conditioning as two power plants stopped operations on Monday. The previous day, a minister warned of an imminent national energy crisis, AFP said. The Dangjin III plant, with a capacity of 500,000 kilowatts, was taken offline by mechanical issues and will likely remain shut for a week. Technical problems also shut down the nearby Seocheon power plant on Monday morning. Operations resumed after an hour, but the plant is only working at half its 200,000-kilowatt capacity.
