Reporting a power outage in Göttingen: How do I know who is responsible for reporting my fault?
What you should know: In most cases, a power outage is not an emergency. Call the police or fire department emergency numbers only in emergency situations. Instead, first try to find out if the problem is only in your apartment, for example due to a blown fuse in your fuse box. If not, go to your electricity network operator’s crash reporting page and report your incident there.
You can find the EAM Netz troubleshooting hotline here.
Are you also affected by major disturbances?
A major power outage can occur at any time and result in prolonged power outages. Therefore, it is important to prepare for such a situation and know how to act. First, you must remain calm and find out the reason for the power outage. It is advisable to create emergency supplies of food, water and medicine in order to be self-sufficient for several days. Emergency lighting and a battery-operated radio can also be useful. It is important to charge electronic devices such as computers and cell phones before there is a risk of complete failure. If possible, consider alternative energy sources such as solar or wind energy. In the event of a power outage, you must follow the codes of conduct of the local authorities and adhere to the instructions. Call police and fire department numbers only in extreme emergencies. On the other hand, it is recommended to inform neighbors and friends and support each other. With some simple precautions and etiquette, you can prepare for a major power outage and minimize the impact.
In comparison: regional differences in power grid failures
Power grid outages occur from time to time, even if they are usually only regional and temporary. In Germany, a lot of efforts are being made in all areas to ensure uninterrupted energy supply; Statistically speaking, German families have to live without electricity for less than 20 minutes on average per year. In the UK, it is already more than an hour per year, and in some European countries such as Poland or Italy, it is more than 3 hours.
The Federal Grid Agency’s comparison of federal states shows that headline numbers for power outages range between 9 and 19 minutes. Rhineland-Palatinate (about 19 minutes per year) and Brandenburg (about 17 minutes) top the list, closely followed by Saxony-Anhalt (16 minutes). Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Hessen, Bavaria, Berlin and Schleswig-Holstein are the least vulnerable to power outages (about 9 minutes each).
