Power went out for 1 hour at a Micron memory factory will DRAM prices go up?

Power went out for 1 hour at a Micron memory factory will DRAM prices go up?

DigiTimes mentions that one of Micron's manufacturing plants in Taiwan suffered a 1-hour power outage. The factory accounts for almost 10% of the world's DRAM production capacity, which means that this disruption could limit the industry's supply and therefore drive up its price.

After the blackout, Micron's shares increased with 2% due to the uncertainty that was generated with the level of supply available for the next few months. Although the impact of the blackout is still unknown, it affected the Micron Fab 11 factory for just over an hour, although the company immediately activated its safety mechanisms and procedures to minimize losses. In numbers, we are talking about 125,000 wafers per month to bring DDR4 and LPDDR4 memory kits to life under a 10nm manufacturing process.

The company stated that “Micron experienced a power outage at its DRAM manufacturing facility in Taoyuan, Taiwan, on Thursday, December 3. Emergency response procedures were in place immediately, and all team members are safe. Power has been restored, and all systems in the facility are operating normally. We estimate that the factory will return to normal production in the next few days. "

At this point in time I will shrug and move on, because I don't t what's worst:
Believing in market manipulation conspiracy or denying it.
Because choosing sides guarantees you a special place and some name calling. Not here, but internet is anything but civil and polite.
Oh well, my favourite SSD and RAM manufacturer became not so favourite anymore.

I don't get it... don't such critical facilities have some kind of generator backup in place for when power is disrupted?
Heck, if I were in the business of making billions of dollars of silicon products I would build my own gas/coal power plant right next to the factory !

This is ridiculous... somebody trips a switch and suddenly massive losses.

I will not take the time or will to discuss this further more, it will create a thread hijacking for sure.

You cannot operate microfabricators on a backup generator, the wave form is way too unstable for the machinery. At best all its good for is keeping anti-contamination machinery and filtration systems running.
