Power grid in Finsterwalde: important changeover by September 2025

In Finsterwalde something happens in the power grid! Stadtwerke Finsterwalde has decided to extensively modernize their network by September 1, 2025. A central element of this measure is to increase the medium voltage from 15 to 20 kilovolt (KV). The aim is to increase the quality and safety of the power supply and to improve the transmission capacity, such as [LR-Online] (https://www.lr-online.de/lausitz/finsterwalde/strom-in-finsterwalde-netz-waschwas-dabei- zu-lächnen-ist-78188671.html).

However, the changeover will not be done without interruptions: from Monday to Thursday, citizens can expect electricity shutdowns of up to seven hours, each between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. All districts and households in Finsterwalde are affected, which have already been informed in writing about the planned switch -off times. Sensitive devices such as IT systems, heating controls and alarm systems should be separated from the power grid during these times to avoid damage.

Details for the changeover

This measure falls in the framework of a large -scale change in voltage, which is carried out by mit -network from May 5 to September 5, 2025. Stadtwerke Finsterwalde are also affected by this adaptation. The municipalities in the catchment area of the Finsterwalde substation have been supplied with 15 KV for decades, and now the standardization is to take place to 20 kV. This not only simplifies network management, but network losses are also reduced. According to the [Amt Kleine Elster] (https://www.amt-kleine-elster.de/waltuelles/mitnetz-strom-fuehr-voltage changeover-Im-elster-Kreis-Kreis-Kreis-Kreis), customers should be informed about 10 days before a planned electricity interruption.

Another important point: In addition to the regular power switching, there will be one -time interruptions of up to six hours. Customers are asked to switch off or separate their sensitive devices here too. During the interruption, the systems are to be regarded as under tension, which requires an increased caution. After all, who wants to put in the middle of the changeover to a device that no longer works?

security of supply in view

In times of the energy transition and the growing energy trade in Europe, electricity and gas networks face new challenges. The Federal Network Agency emphasizes that the security of supply depends on several factors. This includes sufficiently high production capacities and resilient regulatory mechanisms to ensure network stability.

For the population in Finsterwalde, it remains important to find out well about the exact switch -off times and to plan necessary work with high power consumption outside of these times. Further information and regular updates to modernize the power grid can be viewed on the website of the Stadtwerke at www.swfi.de.

It remains to be hoped that the measures will go smoothly and benefit from the citizens from an improved power supply. Because one thing is certain: a good network makes everyday life a lot easier!
