Stromausfall

A power cut is when the electricity supply stops working. It can happen in a house when a fuse blows. If there is an issue with the electricity company, it can affect a street or even an entire town. Power cuts are rare in Germany and usually last only a few minutes. But in the event of a major blackout, the electricity supply could be interrupted for many hours or even days. There will be no electric light, sockets and any appliances connected to them will not work.
