Recommended course of action during power outages
The Mitteldeutsche Netzgesellschaft recommends that you first remain calm in the event of a power outage and check the fuse box. It is important not to immediately report such interruptions to the police or fire rescue control centers, but rather to contact the energy supplier directly. This ensures that employees can act quickly and problems are solved professionally.
As the Federal Network Agency explains, in times of higher demand and delivery bottlenecks in the electricity network, network bottlenecks can occur, especially during periods of strong wind and heavy loads. The power grid is particularly stressed, which underlines the need for stabilization measures. It therefore remains to be seen whether such circumstances will influence the situation in Bad Dürrenberg.
