Maintenance work in Goslar: Power outage today from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.!
On June 25, 2025, the electricity network operator Harz Energie Netz GmbH is causing a stir in the picturesque old town of Goslar. As news.de reports, extensive maintenance work is currently underway, which is absolutely necessary to ensure the long-term reliability of the local power grid. This is generally classified as fail-safe, with unplanned supply interruptions lasting an average of less than 13 minutes in recent years, according to the Federal Network Agency.
The maintenance work affects the area within a radius of around 500 meters from Schreiberstrasse in Goslar (zip code 38640) and began today at 8:00 a.m. They are expected to be completed around 2:00 p.m. so that residents can soon expect a stable supply of electricity again. A final update to information was given at 10:45am and important advice for affected households was also provided.
Practical tips for residents
In the event of a power outage, affected residents are advised to first check whether the problem may only exist in their own apartment. If this is not the case, we recommend visiting Harz Energie Netz's fault reporting page, which provides useful information for reporting major faults.
Today's interruption is part of a broader strategy to maintain the stability of the power grid. According to bundesnetzagentur.de, supply interruptions are regularly recorded and summarized in reports. The presentation of key figures such as the SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) sheds light on the average supply interruption per connected final consumer within a calendar year.
This value, which captures interruptions lasting longer than three minutes, not only provides insight into supply reliability, but also shows that more extreme situations such as force majeure are not included in the calculation. The Federal Network Agency has found that 158,360 supply interruptions were reported last year, which corresponds to an increase of around 1,115 reports compared to the previous year, as zfk.de reported.
Overall, it shows that the German energy supply has a good infrastructure. Nevertheless, scheduled maintenance work like today in Goslar is crucial in order to be able to ensure an uninterrupted power supply in the future.
