Power failure in Marbach: 6000 households affected after an excavator accident!
in the district of Ludwigsburg there was a significant power failure on Thursday, which affected many households. Around 1:19 p.m., several municipalities, including Marbach am Neckar, Murr and Kirchberg an der Murr, reported an interruption in the power supply. The reason for this was an unfortunate incident with an excavator that damaged an important earth cable.
The Syna GmbH, responsible for the power supply in the region, announced that between 5000 and 6000 households were affected. The interruption was a direct consequence of the work of an external company. "At 2:43 p.m., the power supply for all households was restored," said a spokesman for Syna. The electricity could be quickly restored by switching in the lines, so that an emergency generator was not necessary.
causes of the incident
The decisive factor for the failure was the unfortunate meeting of construction work and the underlying infrastructure. The damaged cable strand was part of the ground cable network, which is of central importance for the power supply in the region. Such incidents are not commonplace, but can always occur when construction work takes place near electrical supply lines.According to the Syna spokesman, work is still required when the damage is remedied after the power supply has been restored. "The repair will take a few hours," he said to the media. This could mean that some of the affected households in the area will still experience restrictions afterwards, while the technicians are working on the full restoration of the infrastructure.
In the meantime, affected households were informed about the state of affairs. However, in such a situation it is of course understandable that the residents quickly want a solution, especially in view of the strong dependence on a stable power supply for everyday amenities and work processes.In addition to the immediate challenge of the power supply, this is another example of how important it is to always pay attention to the surrounding supply lines when building work. Careful planning and implementation are crucial to avoid similar incidents in the future.
