The disaster that everyone underestimates, and why you should urgently prepare for a blackout. According to official statistics, power outages occur 472 times a day in Germany. Relevant studies have shown that 90 percent of these power interruptions are not even recorded. Therefore, the actual supply disruptions would amount to around 4,700 power outages per day! This figure suggests that something must be wrong with the German power supply - and indeed, the necessary interventions to keep the power grid stable have multiplied. The risk factors are increasing and are diverse, including structural supply security, natural events and climate change, the energy transition, and rising energy demand, as well as cyber and terrorist attacks. The question is not whether a blackout will occur, but when.
