Damage to the power grid: Ahrbergen affected by outages – information here!

In Ahrbergen, Lower Saxony, residents suffered a temporary power outage on September 4, 2025. According to that Report from News.de Maintenance work started at 8:00 a.m. and was expected to last until 9:30 a.m. Such interruptions are rather the exception in Germany, as the average power outage for households in this country is only a few minutes per year. However, low-voltage disturbances can occasionally lead to abnormalities.

Avacon AG is responsible for the maintenance work and takes care of the electrical supply within a radius of around one kilometer around the Seewiese in Ahrbergen. Interested citizens can find out more via a fault reporting page or find out whether the outage only occurred in their own household.

If you are looking for specific information about a specific district, you can do this easily by entering your zip code or city.

Power grid in focus

The background to this maintenance work is the generally high stability of the German power grid. The Federal Network Agency explains that redispatch measures play an important role in avoiding network bottlenecks. These often arise in times of high wind energy feed-in in the north, while electricity demand increases in the south. Both positive and negative redispatch measures are used to maintain balance in the network.

The German infrastructure is therefore constantly challenged, even if maintenance work like that in Ahrbergen involves interference with the citizens' usual lives. In most cases, however, these are necessary to maintain the quality of care at a high level in the long term. The subsequent information and easy accessibility of data through communication channels such as Avacon's platform support users in such situations and help to quickly resolve any ambiguities.
