Power failure in bursts: maintenance work ensures short interruptions!
A short power outage affected the Stößen region in Burgenlandkreis today, June 20, 2025. Loud news.de Maintenance work is currently being carried out by Mitteldeutsche Netzgesellschaft Strom mbH on Reußener Weg. This maintenance work began at 9:00 a.m. and is expected to last until approximately 12:00 p.m. During this time there may be interruptions in the power supply, but these can be foreseen by taking the required measures.
Supply interruptions in Germany are at a remarkably low level. In recent years, the Federal Network Agency has examined the average values of the SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). On average, these were less than 13 minutes, which makes the German power grid one of the safest in the world bundesnetzagentur.de.
Maintenance work in bursts
In order to guarantee customers a reliable energy supply, ongoing maintenance work is of great importance. Even though short-term interruptions may occur, network operators invest constant effort in maintaining the infrastructure. In the event of large-scale power outages, consumers should first check whether the problem may only exist within their own home. Otherwise, the Mitteldeutsche Netzgesellschaft troubleshooting hotline is available to provide quick relief.
Security and security of supply in Germany
An international comparison shows that Germany is very well positioned when it comes to security of supply. The current SAIDI value of 12.8 minutes for 2023, as reported by cubeconcepts.de, proves the stability of the power grid. This is particularly revealing when compared to other countries, because while consumers in the USA have to live with an average of 78 minutes of downtime, downtime in Germany remains far below this value.
Renewable energies now play a crucial role in German energy production and have reached a share of over 50% of the electricity mix. It is important to maintain a balance between promoting these sustainable energy sources and the new challenges for the power grid, such as temporary higher utilization, in order to guarantee a high level of security of supply in the future.
The Federal Network Agency reports that there were almost 160,000 registered disruptions in the power grid in 2023. Despite these challenges, the German electricity supply remains at a high level thanks to continuous monitoring and willingness to innovate.
