Power grid maintenance in Wust-Fischbeck: Affected for three hours today!

Today, July 10, 2025, the residents of Wust-Fischbeck in the Stendal district must expect temporary power outages. This is due to current maintenance work by the electricity network operator Avacon AG. This work began at 9:00 a.m. this morning and is expected to last until 12:00 p.m. And where exactly is that? The focus of these maintenance measures extends to a radius of approximately one kilometer around Melkower Hauptstrasse in Wust (zip code 39524), as News.de reports.

In Wust-Fischbeck, power outages are actually the exception. On average, only a few minutes a year are recorded without electricity. The German power grid is considered to be progressively stable, even if local low-voltage disturbances have occurred recently. In the affected areas it is now important to remain calm and, if necessary, check the fuses in the fuse box. According to Avacon AG, you should not contact the rescue control centers immediately - the right contact person is primarily the energy supplier.

Tips just in case

Although the maintenance work is necessary, there are a few important things to keep in mind to get through this time safely. In the event of a power outage, the following steps are recommended:

• Überprüfen Sie die Sicherungen in Ihrem Sicherungskasten.
• Wenden Sie sich im Falle eines Ausfalls direkt an Ihren Energieversorger.
• Informieren Sie sich über lokale Medien über die fortschreitende Situation.
• Für echte Notfälle nutzen Sie bitte die Notrufnummern 110 oder 112.
• Unbekannte oder unerwartete Ausfälle sollten dem Stromnetzbetreiber gemeldet werden.

In addition, in the event of longer outages, it is advisable to contact official information centers to obtain up-to-date information.

The situation in Wust-Fischbeck is part of a larger picture in Germany, which has a stable power grid overall. Local disruptions are usually the result of temporary measures such as redispatch, where network operators control the flow of energy to avoid network bottlenecks. The Federal Network Agency points out that network operators use both negative and positive redispatch measures to ensure the stability of the electricity network, especially in times of high demand and strongly fluctuating feed-ins from renewable energies, as can be found on bundesnetzagentur.de.
