Thousands of Households Affected by Power Outage in Vienna

The Wiener Netze confirmed the power outage, which occurred shortly before six in the morning and was resolved by 6:30 AM. It affected approximately 8,300 households in addition to public transport. The cause of the outage could have been a lightning strike on a transformer station. On average, a power outage in Vienna lasts 90 minutes, explained a spokesperson for the Wiener Netze. In this case, the disruption was resolved much more quickly.
