Power outage in Wolmirsleben: maintenance work until the end of July 2025!

On June 20, 2025, maintenance work on the power grid is underway in Wolmirsleben in the Salzland district, which is being carried out by the utility company Avacon AG. These measures, which have been running since June 4, 2025, are necessary to maintain the high quality of supply for which the German electricity grid is known worldwide. In fact, the electricity supply in Germany is considered one of the most reliable in the world, as iwr.de reports.

The location of the maintenance work is within approximately one kilometer of the Am Schachtsee in Wolmirsleben (zip code 39435). The planned work will last until July 31, 2025, provided everything goes according to plan. Avacon has already been successfully active in the work in area B 81 in Wolmirsleben and has resolved a recent disruption there on June 19, 2025 at 12:40 p.m.

Secure power supply despite challenges

The Federal Network Agency finds that unplanned supply interruptions in Germany are on average less than 13 minutes, according to the SAIDI key figures. The high reliability is also reflected in the statistics of the VDE FNN. The electricity supply was overall stable in 2023 and provided a supply of 99.997 percent, with an average interruption duration of 13.7 minutes. This means that on average every customer is affected by a disruption every three years.

What is particularly noteworthy is that, according to bundesnetzagentur.de, the reporting requirements for supply interruptions stipulate that information about the timing, duration and causes of outages must be provided. These measures apply to all electricity and gas network operators in Germany.

Important information for those affected

There is important information for residents in Wolmirsleben and the surrounding area on how to deal with power outages. If a failure occurs, it is advisable to first check whether the problem only exists in your own home. If these symptoms, such as a complete power failure, are present, fault reports can be reported directly via the Avacon website. In an emergency, emergency numbers for the police or fire brigade should only be dialed if there is really an urgent need for action.

The maintenance work is a real step into the future in order to continue to do pioneering work in energy supply. Despite the challenges ahead, the electricity supply in Germany remains very popular and shows that high demands can be met, as news.de impressively underlines.
