Power outage in Schaufling: Technicians on duty on July 9, 2025!
On July 9, 2025, there will be some disruptions in the power grid in Schaufling, Nadling and Hainstetten, which will keep Bayernwerk Netz GmbH technicians busy in the next few hours. As news.de reports, problems were recorded at two locations, which is why action is needed to restore normal power supply. The last update on the disruption was at 7:45 a.m. and there is currently no information about planned maintenance.
In general, the German power grid is considered fail-safe. The average unplanned supply interruptions in Germany are less than 13 minutes per year, as the Federal Network Agency states in its annual evaluations. This means that consumers are generally rarely affected by power outages

Power outages and their effects
In Schaufling, residents should first check the fuse box if there are power problems. If it turns out that there are problems beyond your own household, the energy supplier is the right person to contact - the police or fire brigade are not required here. This shows that a disrupted power supply does not equate to an emergency.
The so-called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) is used to evaluate the power system and its reliability. This measures the average duration of interruptions per consumer supplied and is an important indicator of the reliability of power grids. As explained in wikipedia.org, SAIDI is calculated from the sum of affected consumers and the duration of the interruptions.
Supply interruptions in Germany
The Federal Network Agency states in its reports that the SAIDI value in Germany in 2016 was 12.8 minutes per year. In previous years the value was significantly higher - in 2006 it was around 21.53 minutes. In the context of Schaufling, it is clear that the consistency and security of the power grid in Germany has increased in recent years, which makes the current disruptions all the more remarkable. In this context, attention is also drawn to the differences between planned and unplanned interruptions, whereby only the latter are included in the SAIDI calculation, as explained by bundesnetzagentur.de.
The residents of Schaufling can be curious to see when the Bayernwerk technicians will be able to fix the problems. Such interruptions are usually annoying, but thanks to the robust German power grid, they are fortunately the exception and not the rule.
