Power failures in Sontra: Technicians work around the clock!

On April 5, 2025, several media report on current electricity disorders in the Sontra area, which have occurred in the area of ​​responsibility of EAM Netz GmbH. Technicians are already in use to fix the problems and restore the care. According to news.de

Some of the areas concerned are Berneburg and Cornberg.

In Cornberg, ZIP 36219, a disturbance was remedied on April 4, 2025 at 12:50 p.m. These incidents take a look at the general security of supply of the German power grid.

power supply quality in Germany

The Federal Network Agency, which is responsible for monitoring security security, has repeatedly emphasized in the past that the German power grid is one of the most reliable in Europe. The average interruption of supply, measured by the Average Interruption Duration Index (Saidi) system, was only 12.8 minutes per final consumer in 2023. This is a slight plus compared to 12.2 minutes in 2022, but this is within the ten -year -old average of 12.7 minutes of Remains. According to bundesnetzagentur.de , such disruptions are often not due to force majeure, but are caused by technical problems, storms or individual disorders in the network.

A total of 852 network operators reported over 158,360 supply interruptions in low and medium voltage in 2023. This represents an increase in disruptive reports by around 1,115 compared to the previous year. The president of the Federal Network Agency, Klaus Müller, emphasizes that despite the increase, the quality of electricity in Germany remains at a high level, which speaks for the stability of the entire system.

information for affected customers

customers who suffer from power failures should first check whether the problem is only available in their own household. If this is not the case, a visit to the disorder report of EAM Netz GmbH is recommended. This procedure helps to identify the causes of disorders faster and to inform the technicians effectively.

Overall, the current situation in Sontra once again shows the challenges that operators have to deal with in daily operation, and the importance of transparent communication with consumers. In a European comparison, the German power grid is still one of the most reliable, but the constant review and maintenance is absolutely necessary to keep this level.
