A transformer house in Großkayna, a district of Braunsbedra (Saalekreis), suffered a temporary power outage around the town during the night due to arson. According to a spokeswoman for the grid operator Mitnetz, the substation was shut down as a result. As a result, 14 other grid points were without power. At peak times, 897 electricity customers in Großkayna and parts of Roßbach were affected by the power outage. After just over an hour, most of the stations were supplied with power again thanks to switchovers. According to the company, the last customers were also supplied again in the early morning.
