Power outage in Hohen Neuendorf: E.DIS network struggles with disruptions!

In the last few days, the power outage in Hohen Neuendorf has been a topic of conversation. On June 21, 2025, current disruptions in the power grid were reported at 4:45 p.m., forcing E.DIS Netz GmbH technicians to take action. Even if the German power grid is generally considered fail-safe, there seems to be a need for action here. According to news.de, the average supply interruption in Germany has remained under 13 minutes in recent years, which indicates stable operation. But things could look different on site in Hohen Neuendorf.

What to do in the event of a power outage depends on the individual situation. First, everyone should check whether the problem only affects their own home. If this is not the case, it is worth taking a look at the network operator's fault reporting page. Experts warn that emergency numbers for the police or fire brigade should only be dialed in an emergency.

Causes and statistical data

Power outages can have many reasons, and the Federal Network Agency has identified clear key figures for security of supply. The SAIDIEnWG (System Average Interruption Duration Index) is one of the most important indicators and shows the average supply interruption per connected end consumer within a calendar year. According to the Federal Network Agency, unplanned interruptions due to atmospheric influences, third-party influences and the responsibility of the network operator are relevant for the calculation.

The development of these key figures is constantly monitored. In the 2024 monitoring report, not only four transmission system operators but also 815 distribution system operators provided relevant data. This shows that even with a stable overall picture at the federal level, local fluctuations cannot be ruled out.

What can those affected do?

A power outage doesn't always have to trigger panic. If supply is interrupted, there are some simple steps those affected can take immediately. In addition to visiting the fault reporting page, communication within the neighborhood should not be underestimated. Sometimes it helps to ask your neighbors: Did you also have a power outage? Such small queries can help to better assess the situation.

In summary, the incident in Hohen Neuendorf shows that despite a fail-safe German power grid, local problems can still arise. We will stay tuned and inform readers about the development of the situation on site. For further information on supply interruptions and their causes, the Federal Network Agency is available as a reliable source of information, including valuable data and statistics on this topic on its website energiewende-cockpit.
