Around 20,000 households in Wolfratshausen had no electricity early Thursday morning.

A massive lightning strike was to blame.

Wolfratshausen - On Thursday morning from 4.14 to 4.23 a.m. parts of Wolfratshausen and Geretsried - around 20,000 households - were again without juice.

"A massive lightning strike" in the area of ​​the Föhrenwald substation was to blame for the power failure, says Michael Bartels on request.

The spokesman for Bayernwerk AG continued to check whether the lightning hit a mast or a line.

The protective mechanism took effect, and the company then tapped electricity from a neighboring line.

Meanwhile, the cable faults that provoked a power failure around three weeks ago are also being investigated.

The cables are currently being analyzed in the test center.

As soon as a result is available, “we will inform the public”.
