Power outage in Möckern: maintenance work causes disruption!
Today, August 19, 2025, the electricity network operator Avacon AG is carrying out scheduled maintenance work in Möckern, Jerichower Land district. These measures include an interruption of the power supply within a radius of approximately one kilometer around the village street in Möckern, OT Krüssau.
The maintenance work began this morning at 9:00 a.m. and is expected to last until 1:00 p.m. Such maintenance work is fundamental to maintaining security of supply, which is considered high in Germany. According to news.de, the average unplanned supply interruption (SAIDI key figure) has been less than 13 minutes in recent years.
Maintenance work and recommendations for action
Prior to today's maintenance, a previous effort in the same area was completed at 12:15 p.m. on August 18th. In the event of a power outage, it is recommended that you first check the fuse box. If overload is suspected, the fuse should be activated again. In addition, if problems persist and neighbors are affected, residents should inform the energy supplier and not call the emergency number.
The security of supply in Germany is regularly monitored. The Federal Network Agency collects data on supply interruptions and calculates the SAIDI-EnWG (System Average Interruption Duration Index) and the ASIDI-EnWG (Average System Interruption Duration Index). These key figures include the average supply interruptions per connected end consumer and are evaluated annually.
Unplanned interruptions are caused by various factors such as atmospheric influences, third-party influences or even disruptions that are the responsibility of the network operator. When calculating these key figures, only disruptions that were not planned are taken into account. Planned maintenance, such as the current work in Möckern, does not fall into this category and is part of ongoing operations.
The likelihood of power outages in the coming years is expected to continue to decrease in the future as advanced maintenance programs and technological advances enable increasingly stable infrastructure. The maintenance work in Möckern is an expression of this effort and contributes to the long-term security of the power supply.
