A massive power outage has left around 45,000 households in southwest Berlin without electricity since Saturday morning amid winter snow. The blackout was caused by a fire on a cable bridge over the Teltow Canal.
According to the grid operator Stromnetz Berlin, the fire damaged several power cables, leading to the outage affecting around 45,000 residential and 2,200 commercial customers in the neighborhoods of Nikolassee, Zehlendorf, Wannsee and Lichterfelde. The fire has since been extinguished.
