Why the power grid in Oranienburg is threatened with a blackout

According to the network agency, there is no acute threat of network overload, but the limit of what is possible could be reached in the winter months. Anyone who concludes that new heat pumps are primarily responsible for the overload is, according to the information, wrong. “The new needs are particularly due to industry, commerce and new construction areas,” it says. Heat pumps and wall boxes therefore play a subordinate role. In doing so, the authority contradicts the municipal utilities, which in their initial reaction referred to the increased installation of heat pumps.
