Cable Damage: There Was a Temporary Power Outage in Torgau

Power was temporarily out in large parts of Torgau (a district in northern Saxony) on Wednesday. The municipal utility reported the outage at noon but was able to give the all-clear shortly thereafter.

According to the report, the cause was damage to a cable caused by construction work carried out by a third-party contractor. Only residents of the Torgau neighborhood of Repitz were still without power in the afternoon. “The specialists in charge are continuing to work around the clock to restore power there as quickly as possible,” the municipal utility said.
