Power outages in Bremen: Important maintenance work affected today!
Today, August 27, 2025, a disruption in the power grid in Bremen is causing a stir. wesernetz Bremen GmbH has currently announced various maintenance work and some unplanned power outages. At a time when the German power grid has been considered particularly fail-safe for years, this raises questions. According to the Federal Network Agency, the average unplanned supply interruption in Germany is less than 13 minutes - and this is exactly the standard that is expected in this country.
Several districts in Bremen are particularly affected, including Bremen-East and Bremen-South. News.de reports on the current situation caused by wesernetz Bremen GmbH. Today, it is carrying out maintenance work and short-term power shutdowns in several streets to ensure security of supply.
Details about the maintenance work
The planned maintenance work is precisely scheduled. Short-term maintenance on Karl-Beckhusen-Weg begins at 8:00 a.m. and is scheduled to last until 3:00 p.m. At the same time, work is scheduled on Ingelheimer Strasse, Lobsienstrasse, and Vagtstrasse, also with short interruptions until the afternoon. This measure is intended to ensure that Bremen will continue to be supplied with reliable electricity in the future.
- Karl-Beckhusen-Weg: 08:00 bis 15:00 Uhr
- Ingelheimer Straße: 08:50 bis 15:30 Uhr
- Lobsienstraße: 10:07 bis 16:00 Uhr
- Vagtstraße: 10:03 bis 16:00 Uhr
At the same time, some maintenance work was completed in other parts of the city such as Grolland, Schwachhausen and Lesum. These preparatory measures are important to ensure the stability of the power grid in Bremen without putting too much strain on users.
Report and respond to power outages
To report power outages, those affected should contact wesernetz directly. Under the telephone number 0421 – 359 1010, which is available around the clock, short disruptions can be reported. In emergencies, it is important to remain calm and first find out whether neighbors are also affected. A few useful tips for emergencies include having flashlights and charged power banks ready.
A look at the Stromausfall.org page shows how important it is to be prepared. While the majority of power outages in Germany are short-lived, in some cases they can last for a long time, which can be crucial for some people, especially in care facilities.
The federal government emphasizes that the risk of a large-scale blackout in Germany is very low, but we here in Bremen are well advised to be prepared for such events. The security mechanisms that have been developed for the energy supply underline the importance of centralized energy supply for prosperity in Germany. A well-functioning power grid is essential for all of us.
Finally, it is advisable to keep an eye on your own power supply and find out about emergency plans. Further information about the importance of electricity supply is also available from Federal Government and other official sites that always report on current developments.
