This move could delay mass production and require redesign of the plant, potentially forcing a postponement of the planned mass production by the end of 2027. Nikkei reports that construction at the Kumamoto Fab 2 has suddenly halted, with almost all large construction equipment absent, and suppliers have confirmed receiving notices of the work stoppage. TSMC has neither confirmed nor denied the news of the Kumamoto Fab 2 shutdown, stating only that the Japanese project will continue and that the company will not comment on market rumors or speculation.CNPC Research Department: With the continued advancement of urbanization, urban gas demand still has huge growth potential in the next decade.On December 12th, Australian Prime Minister Barnes endorsed a government bailout plan to address rising energy costs, with Australias largest aluminum smelter expected to continue operating beyond 2028.
