Sept 27 (Reuters) - Apple supplier Unimicron Technology Corp
 3037.TW  said that three of its subsidiaries in China had to
stop production from midday on Sept. 26 until midnight on Sept.
30 to "comply with the local governments' electricity limiting
policy". 
    It did not expect a major impact, adding that other
factories would make up production, the company said in a
statement late on Sunday. 
    Several key Apple and Tesla suppliers have halted production
at some of their Chinese facilities to comply with Beijing's
tighter energy consumption policy, putting supply-chain
continuity at risk during a peak season for electronics goods
including the latest iPhones, Nikkei reported earlier.
