Taiwan Power Co. said in a brief statement that its southern power grid system encountered a malfunction, causing the blackout. Knock-on effects from the outage triggered power outages in some parts of northern and central Taiwan as well.
The malfunction took place at Kaohsiung’s Hsinta Power Plant, the biggest power plant in southern Taiwan, according to the company.
“encountered a malfunction”

Yeah, could be anything. It was obviously a malfunction, unless someone authorized at the plant to do so cut off the power.
