Power failure in Cologne: Technician in use - this is how your house remains bright!

Lindenthal, Deutschland - On June 11, 2025, there are significant electricity disorders in the area of ​​responsibility of Rheinnetz GmbH in Cologne. Technicians are in use at two locations to fix the problems, as news.de reports. The last update of the disorder took place at 8:45 p.m. The area of ​​Langemass in Cologne (ZIP 51063), OT Mülheim, was particularly affected, but where the disorder has been remedied since 12:50 p.m.

In the event of a power failure, it is advisable to first check the fuse box. If the backup has been triggered, suspicious devices should be removed and the backup is activated again. If the electricity continues, there may be a cable problem that must be clarified by a specialist. Neighbors should also be informed if they are also affected and the energy supplier should be contacted. Important note: In such a case, it is not necessary to choose the emergency call.

steps for troubleshooting for power failures

The Rheinnetz offers clear instructions for troubleshooting in the event of power failures. The first step must be checked whether the power failure only affects your own house. For this purpose, the street lighting can be checked or the neighborhood is asked. The functionality of the elevator can also provide information: if it works, the problem may be in the apartment.

When the power failure occurs in the street or in other houses, Rheinnetz should be contacted. The following phone numbers are available for different cities:

• Cologne, Bornheim: 0221 34645-600
• Alfter, Frechen, Hürth, Königswinter, Langenfeld, Pulheim, Sankt Augustin, Wesseling: 0800 4112244
• Niederkassel: 0800 6484848
• Wachtberg: 0228 3389988

In the next step, the fuse box should be checked. A triggered backup can indicate a defective device. The FI control switch should also be checked because it interrupts the current flow in an emergency. If it has triggered, all the circuit breakers can be switched off and the FI system switch can be reactivated. If repetitions of the trigger are determined, the integration of an electrical specialist is required.

repair and responsibility

If the fuses in the house connection box are defective, the responsibility for the homeowner, not with Rheinnetz. In the event of a non -localizable power failure, the Rheinnetz Disturbance Service should eliminate the cause. The repair is free, provided the cause is in the house connection box or before. In the event of defects within the house system, an electrical installer must be commissioned.

The current situation once again illustrates the importance of a quick reaction in the event of a power failure and the need to stick to the recommended steps in order to avoid possible damage and quickly return to the usual routine.
