Power outage in Wismar: Technicians on constant duty for quick help!

In Wismar, more precisely in the Altstadt district, there is some trouble with the power supply today, June 21, 2025. As news.de reports, there were isolated disruptions in the local power grid. A blessing in disguise: On average, households here are only without power for a few minutes a year, so such outages are usually resolved quickly.

E.DIS Netz GmbH has already deployed technicians to resolve the problems. It is particularly pleasing that a disruption on Claus-Jesup-Straße (zip code 23966) was resolved at 7:58 p.m. However, in such cases, affected citizens should first check their fuse box and not immediately contact the rescue control centers. The right person to contact is the local energy supplier, who also offers a troubleshooting hotline.

The background of the disruptions

Power outages in Germany are usually localized and often have causes related to low-voltage disruptions. This fits with a general trend shown by the power outage map from stromauss.org: The majority of reports of power outages usually occur during storms. Such maps are also used to discover the extent of an outage and inform others.

In Germany, the electricity grid is considered to be one of the most modern in the world, and the supply is considered very secure. On average, households go without electricity for around 13 minutes per year, according to the federal government on its website bundesregierung.de. These figures show that the German power grid is well balanced despite occasional outages: the electricity fed in usually corresponds to the electricity withdrawn.

The importance of electricity in everyday life

Energy supply is extremely important for prosperity in Germany and will become even more important in the coming years, especially in the areas of buildings and transport. It is therefore not surprising that the federal government has implemented numerous security mechanisms to ensure the stability of the electricity supply. The share of renewable energies recently rose to 59%, indicating a successful path towards a sustainable future.

To get to the point: Despite the current challenges in Wismar, general developments show that Germany is well positioned to prevent even larger power outages, so-called blackouts. The cooperation between the Federal Ministry of Economics and dena on network expansion is a step in the right direction to cover the growing demand for electricity, especially through electromobility.
