The impact of power outages
The importance of a stable energy supply is essential for prosperity in Germany, as the Federal Government emphasizes. Electricity will become even more important in the future, especially for technologies such as electromobility and heat pumps. Germany is now considered one of the countries with the most reliable electricity grids, despite the occasional, short power outages that usually last minutes to hours, as described by the federal government. The average power outage per household in 2023 was just 13 minutes.
Blackouts, or large-scale power outages, can be caused by various unpredictable events such as storms that damage power lines. In such cases, households, companies and even schools are affected, which underlines the importance of careful preparation and attention to your own supply network.
Practical tips for emergencies
What to do if there is no light? First, residents should check whether the problem is only in their own apartment, for example a fuse that has blown out. If there are major difficulties, we recommend visiting the electricity network operator's fault reporting page. There, those affected can find up-to-date information about the disruptions currently occurring in Mügeln.
The data shows that the electricity supply in Germany is stable overall, with an average of less than 15 minutes of power outages per year, which underlines the performance of the network operator. However, people should be aware that power outages can vary greatly locally and therefore some level of preparation is useful.
Stay informed about current disruptions and act in good time, as the next power outage could already be imminent. Information about the grid disruptions in Mügeln can be found at news.de, detailed outage statistics are available stromsperre.org and the nationwide connections to electricity supply can be read at the Federal Government.
