If overload is suspected, it is advisable to activate the backup again. If the problems continue to exist, a more profound management problem can be the cause that should be checked by a specialist.

Information for affected residents

affected neighbors should inform each other and contact the energy supplier, since the emergency call is not the right way for this. It is not the first time for the people of Cologne that they are confronted with power failures. Compared to 2023 with a total of 388 reports reported, the situation in 2025 has improved. Nevertheless, there are examples from the past few months: 61 failures were recorded in March, followed by 54 in May.

The current problems are embedded in the ongoing work on the power grid. From the beginning of June to November 2025, Rheinnetz GmbH will modernize the main supply ring in the south of Cologne, which can cause additional effects on the power grid. In this context, a one-way street will be set up in Steinstraße between the Verzauf Urbacher Weg and the intersection Theodor-Heuß-Straße in the Steinstrasse between the Ver Verzauf Verkehration. However, pedestrians and cyclists continue to have access in both directions.

Lately, the energy supply in Cologne has often been in the headlines, but there are also positive developments. A new water transport line in Rodenkirchen was recently announced, which is to replace the old and ailing line. These new pipes, which were delivered on May 19, are not only crucial for the infrastructure, but are also delivered environmentally friendly with a low-CO2 biofuel.

The city of Cologne and Rheinnetz GmbH are trying to keep inconvenience as low as possible for citizens. From the experience of the past few years, those responsible and always look for ways to make the supply more reliable and to modernize the infrastructure.
