Power outage in Neulewin: Maintenance work disrupts the supply!
On July 4, 2025, there were temporary problems in the power grid in Neulewin in the Märkisch-Oderland district, which could arise as part of planned maintenance work. The network operator E.DIS Netz GmbH informed that the maintenance work was carried out within a radius of around one kilometer around Neulewin, known by post at 16259, between 8:00 a.m. and probably 10:30 a.m. Despite these measures, the German power grid is considered fail-safe - in recent years, unplanned supply interruptions have averaged less than 13 minutes, as reported by news.de.
The key figures provided by the Federal Network Agency show that, apart from the planned work, the supply interruptions are generally short. The so-called SAIDI indicator, which measures the average supply interruption per connected end consumer within a calendar year, results from unplanned interruptions. Only disruptions that were not caused by force majeure are taken into account, explains the Bundesnetzagentur.
Development of supply 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 increased by around 1,115 reports. It is important to note that extreme weather events that are considered force majeure are not included in the SAIDI value. From these developments it can be concluded that although the infrastructure is robust, there are still challenges that need to be continuously worked on.

In the event of a power outage, it is advisable for citizens to first check whether the cause lies in their own home. If the problem persists, the fault reporting page of the network operator E.DIS Netz GmbH offers helpful information and support.
