Power failure in Esslingen: Technicians are fighting disorders!

Power failure in Esslingen: Technicians are fighting disorders!

in Esslingen am Neckar, the electricity was briefly gone today on June 11th, 2025. The Netz operator Netze BW GmbH confirmed the disorder in the city area. Technicians are active at two different locations to fix the problems. Interestingly, the power failures in Esslingen are usually just as short interruptions, which only make up average on average, as News.de

reports about the current power failure describes a spokesman for Netze BW as "not unusual". There was also a similar incident in the Rems-Murr district on Wednesday. Households in Esslingen were estimated to cut off the power grid for about 45 minutes before the problem was resolved around 9:40 a.m. The residents in Plochingen as well as the surrounding communities such as Altbach and Deizisau had to struggle with some disorders until Wednesday afternoon, but the electricity is now flows again.

background and causes

One is clear: the German power grid is generally considered stable. A current analysis shows that the average interruption duration per customer in 2023 was only 13.7 minutes, while the supply rate is extremely high with 99.997%. This underlines how reliably the power supply remains despite the challenges of the energy transition, according to efahrer.chip.de .

The causes of short -term failures can be versatile. They are often triggered by high construction activities, such as road construction, or by natural events. Nevertheless, network availability in Germany remains well above the European means, which reflects a good knack by the operators and the maintenance team from Netze BW.

tips for preparation

For everyone who is affected by a power failure, there are some useful recommendations. Networks BW advises to use battery -operated devices carefully and to have flashlights as well as candles. Important data should be secured with UPS or power bank, and durable foods and drinking water are also advisable, especially in households with electricity -dependent water supply. In addition, emergency plans for medically dependent devices are recommended.

Overall, the telecommunications industry in Esslingen and the surrounding area has so far reacted quickly with the remediation of these disorders, and those affected can hope for stable power supply again. The search for the causes of the current problems continues to prevent future interruptions.

It becomes clear that the power supply is not only a technical but also a human concern that affects us all. Stay informed and well prepared!
