Germany leads in electric sustainability: Few interruptions and preparation for heatwaves and winters
Germany represents an important model for success in ensuring the continuity of electricity supply. Hussein Khader, a member of the executive committee of the German Socialist Party, announced the average duration of power outages in the country. He confirmed that the residents of Germany experienced an average of 10.73 minutes without electricity during the year 2020.
Germany and the Electricity Sustainability Plan
Continuous and widespread electricity availability
While this number may not be widely mentioned, it reflects the tremendous efforts made in Germany to maintain the stability of the electrical grid.
“Khader” affirmed that there has been no widespread and long-term power outage in Germany so far, and the chances of such issues occurring remain extremely low.
Germany is preparing itself, and the impact is increasing during the winter
The statements of the member of the Executive Committee of the German Socialist Party indicate that Germany has been considering those potential problems for several decades.
The Germans are fully aware that they need large amounts of electricity and energy during the severe winter season when temperatures drop significantly, and the demand for heaters and electrical appliances is much greater.
A heatwave is hitting Europe
As we observed last July, several European countries suffered from an unprecedented rise in temperatures, with Germany, Greece, and Italy being particularly affected. Greece experienced wildfires, and Turkey also saw fires break out.
The strong heatwave has affected several countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, both in Southern Europe and Northern Africa.
The heatwave made electricity more in demand during the summer, consequently putting increased pressure on the distribution network. However, Germany continued to reliably supply its residents with electricity, showcasing the strength of the country’s electrical infrastructure.
In this creative style, we can understand how Germany is striving diligently to achieve sustainability and stability in its electricity supply and how it is confronting global climate challenges with innovative measures and advanced technology.
