Electricity and gas warning: Luckenwalde fights against infrastructure disorders!

In Luckenwalde it rumbles: the urban businesses raise the alarm and warn the residents of possible failures in electricity, gas and district heating. In the next few months, customers will have to adapt to short -term disorders, which are mainly caused by civil engineering work to lay infrastructure for a new fiber optic network. After all, there have been as many power failures in the past eight weeks as in the entire last year, which has become a real test of patience for some budgets.

Christan Buddeweg, the managing director of the municipal utility, comments concerned about the damage to their lines by the workers who work on the fiber optic installations. The potential damage to gas lines that can also be dangerous are particularly delicate - luckily there have been no major incidents. These disorders are usually short -term and are usually remedied on the same day, but the fear of further interruptions remains.

disorders from construction work

Whoever thinks that is everything, is wrong! According to the municipal utilities, further disorders due to the ongoing construction work can be expected in the coming weeks. It is all the more important that those responsible for the municipal utilities monitor the work carefully and ensure that all regulations are observed by the construction companies. In the event of a fault, customers should know where to get help: If you have problems with the gas supply, you can call the number 03371 682-80, the 03371 682-81 and the 03371 682-82 is available for heat supply.

For everyone who wants to stay up to date with disorders, the page Färzungsungkunft.de a practical overview. There, customers find information about possible disorders in electricity, gas, water, district heating and even street lighting.

network passes and security of supply

But the problem goes beyond Luckenwalde. The transmission system operators are constantly in the process of keeping the power grid stable and are looking for solutions for impending grid. These can occur especially in times of high wind energy generation in the north and high electricity requirements in the south. According to the Federal Network Agency, redispatch measures are an important tool to prevent or fix such bottlenecks. These measures ensure that the power grid remains stable and network elements are protected from overloading.

The German transmission network urgently needs an expansion, especially when you consider that bottlenecks can occur particularly in strong wind turbines. There is something! But at the moment it is the expansion work in Luckenwalde that are at the top of the list of priorities.
