On 26 March 2012, Lee said that Taiwan's 4th nuclear power plant will begin its operation in 2014. Over 96 percent of its construction has been completed, with the remaining work to involve software and safety improvement projects due to Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster a year before in Japan.[4]
On 3 May 2013, Lee handed over his presidential post to Chu Wen-chen as his successor due to his retirement of Taipower President, witnessed by Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs Francis Liang.[5]
