It is still unclear what caused the power outage. The grid operator says that the focus is now on recovery. It will then be investigated what caused the power outage and whether it is related to Monday’s power outage. That is still unclear.
Monday’s power outage affected 68,000 connections. The outage was caused by an electricity station on Hemweg failing.
