Current challenges

The question of why Saxony-Anhalt is more often affected by power outages compared to other federal states remains unanswered. An analysis of mz.de shows that consumers had to go without power for an average of almost 18 minutes last year, compared to the national average of just 12.8 minutes. The relatively long lines over land could be one reason for this unpleasant result.

Thomas Brockmeier, General Manager of the Halle-Dessau Chamber of Industry and Commerce, also expresses concerns about the security of the electricity supply in Germany. Companies report voltage fluctuations and uncertain power quality. Efforts to stabilize the power grid are increasing, particularly in connection with the expansion of renewable energy, but this does not necessarily lead to more power outages.

For all residents: In the event of a power outage, it is important to remain calm and first check the fuse box. Instead of immediately alerting the police or fire department rescue control centers, the disruptions should be reported directly to the responsible energy supplier, Avacon.
