Rabe ensures power failure: Saarbrücken in the dark!

On Thursday afternoon at 1:39 p.m., there was a short -term power failure in several districts of Saarbrücken, which was described by the municipal utilities as a reckless misfortune of a raven. This bird caused a short circuit through a flight to the fenne substation, which triggered a power break in Gersweiler, Altenkessel, Klarenthal, Burbach and parts of Saarbrücken-Malstatt. Fortunately, the failure only lasted ten minutes and was already fixed around 1:49 p.m. Whether other places, such as the Mandelbach Valley and Gersheim, were also also being examined, is currently being examined, such as "https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/saarland/sr-rabe-fuer-grossflaechigen-romausfall-in-saarbruecken-100.html" Class = "Source_1"> Tageschau.de reported.

scope and consequences

according to the information provided by the platform kmrotaSausfall.org , the power failures in certain regions took up to 15 minutes and there have been several reports about interruptions in Saarbrücken and the surrounding areas. The exact number of households concerned is still pending, since the municipal utilities are currently determining the dimensions of the incident. This unexpected interruption, caused by an animal, illustrates how fragile parts of the energy infrastructure can be and calls for citizens to think about preventive measures for future power outages.
