Power failure in Nördlingen: Technology team fights against disorders!
Today, on October 4, 2025, there are electricity disorders in Nördlingen, Bavaria, which affect the area of responsibility of Netze ODR GmbH. Technicians are already on site to fix the disorders. However, it is still unclear whether these problems are related to planned maintenance work (https://www.news.de/lokales/856413954/stromausfall-noerdlingen-aktuell-in-86720-netze-oDR-B GmbH-stoache-am-04-2025/1/).
Power failures are generally not common in Germany and mostly limited to low -voltage disorders in a few households. For luck, the German population is reliably supplied with electricity all year round. If there is a failure, experts give the advice to keep calm and check the safety box for triggered backups. A quick alarm from the police or fire brigade is wrong in such cases; Instead, the energy supplier is the right point of contact.
