Power outage in Vienna: 600 households affected – repairs underway!

The fault was reported at 10:30 a.m. and it quickly became clear that a defective cable was identified as the cause. The Wiener Netze fault service was immediately deployed and was able to bring the majority of affected customers back online within an hour. At 12:10 p.m. the problem was finally completely resolved, reports Today.

Interestingly, after an hour there were only between 50 and 80 people left without power. The Wiener Netze announced that, with the exception of one transformer station, all concerns could be dealt with quickly.

The speed with which the troubleshooting service responded was remarkable. Employees worked quickly to restore power as quickly as possible.
