Power outage in Moßbach: Technicians on duty for a quick solution!
Today, July 16, 2025, there is once again news from the field of electricity supply, which concerns many in the region. In Moßbach, located in the picturesque Saale-Orla district, there were temporary power disruptions. The technicians from TEN Thüringer Energienetze GmbH & Co. KG are already working at two locations to fix the error. It remains unclear whether these disruptions are directly related to planned maintenance work. According to news.de, a brief interruption in the power supply was reported at 6:45 p.m.
Interestingly, households in Moßbach are without electricity for only a few minutes per year on average, which demonstrates the high resilience of the electricity grid in Germany. In the entire Federal Republic, the average supply interruption is only 12.2 minutes per end consumer, as the [Bundesnetzagentur](https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Press Releases/DE/2023/20231107_SAIDI.html) reports. This means that Germany performs very well in a European comparison, while neighboring countries such as Great Britain and Italy record much higher power outage times.
Frequency of power outages
Supply interruptions are not uncommon in Germany. The Thüringer Energienetze record that low-voltage disruptions occur frequently, mostly caused by construction work or other infrastructural interventions. These usually only affect a few households, while medium-voltage faults are rarer but more widespread. In the high-voltage network, where the probability of a power outage is lowest, everything is monitored centrally by a network control center.
Investments in modern, “smart” infrastructure are a central part of the Federal Ministry of Economics’ plans to meet the requirements of a growing, energy-hungry society. The German Energy Agency (dena) is also pushing forward innovative concepts to make the power grid more efficient and adaptable.
Emergency measures and fault reports
In the event of a power outage, it is important for everyone affected to first check whether the problem is local or with the entire network. If there are major problems, emergency numbers for the police or fire department are available. For individual fault reports, it is advisable to use the TEN Thüringer Energienetze website to ensure that the faults are resolved quickly.
Overall, it can be said that Germany's electricity supply is highly reliable thanks to a stable infrastructure and continuous improvements. The current disruptions in Moßbach are annoying, but they are in the context of an overall positive balance. Because it turns out that the power grid in Germany has a good hand when it comes to finding a timely solution, even in difficult situations.
