Power Outage in Vienna Prater: Everything Came to a Halt
Already on Friday, around 10:30 PM, a power outage occurred in the Prater, lasting several hours. According to Wiener Netze, no operations could take place for three hours. Particularly severe was the fact that even the barriers at the parking garages no longer worked, which led to numerous people being stuck in their cars. Meanwhile, the Praterdome nightclub also remained closed.
The cause of the power outage is attributed to a defective cable element, as reported by "Wien heute." Parts of the surrounding Stuwer district were also affected. This was not the first incident of this kind in the Vienna Prater – in recent years, power outages have occurred repeatedly, most recently in December 2024 due to a transformer fire. The Prater Association has once again appealed to Wiener Netze to improve the energy supply at such important locations.
