Power failure in Neulewin: Maintenance work disrupts the supply!

On July 4, 2025, in Neulewin in the Märkisch-Oderland district, temporary problems in the power grid occurred, which could occur in the context of planned maintenance work. The network operator E.DIS Netz GmbH informed that the maintenance work within a radius of about one kilometer around Neulewin, known by post on 16259, was carried out between 8:30 a.m. and expected. Despite these measures, the German power grid is considered failed - in recent years unplanned supply interruptions have had an average of less than 13 minutes, such as news.de reports.

The key figures provided by the Federal Network Agency show that the interruptions of care, apart from the planned work, are usually short. The so-called Saidi characteristic, which measures the average interruption of supply per connected final consumer within one calendar year, results from unplanned interruptions. The [Federal Network Agency] (https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/de/fachthemen/elektrizitaetundgas/versorgungsensicherung/versorgungs- bachtungen/fahrkert_strom/start.html) explains that only disorders are taken into account.

Development of the pension interruptions

As current figures show, a total of 852 network operators reported 158,360 supply interruptions in low and medium voltage in 2023. Compared to the previous year, this number rose by around 1,115 reports. It is important to note that extreme weather events that are considered force majeure do not flow into the Saidi value. From these developments, it can be concluded that the infrastructure is robust, there are still challenges on which work must be continuously worked. This information is regularly published on the website of the ZFK.

For the citizens, it is advisable to first check in the event of power outages whether the cause is in your own apartment. If the problem continues, the fault report of the network operator e.DIS Netz GmbH offers helpful information and support.
