A significant power cut severely affected daily life in Spain and Portugal, disrupting transport and commerce, with the cause yet to be determined. In contrast, Germany boasts one of the safest power grids globally, experiencing minimal outages historically. However, experts caution about an increased risk due to geopolitical tensions from conflicts like the war in Ukraine. Despite its reliability, authorities acknowledge the evolving energy landscape could pose new challenges for Germany's power supply stability in the future.
Germany has one of the safest power grids in the world. Large-scale and long-lasting power outages have only occurred extremely rarely in Germany.
Nevertheless, the probability has increased in recent years...due to the conversion of energy systems from a centralised supply via large power plants to many photovoltaic and wind systems as well as biomass.
What definitely increases the likelihood of a large-scale, long-lasting power outage are geopolitical tensions, especially the war in Ukraine and Russia's attempts to exert influence.
Germany's power grid is one of the safest and most stable in the world, and a blackout of the scale seen in Spain and Portugal remains "unlikely."
