Emmendingen (dpa / lsw) - The new year started in parts of Emmendingen without electricity.
Shortly after midnight, according to information from the municipal utility, there were two faults on cables independently of one another, including a short circuit.
The widespread power outage in the city center was only completely remedied in the morning - more than nine hours later, a statement said.
The chaining of the errors made it more difficult to rectify the problem.
The households would receive emergency supplies until the problems with the cables are resolved.
For this purpose, civil engineering work is also necessary at one point.
In addition, the technology of a transformer station was damaged according to the information.
The cause is therefore "force majeure".
How many people were affected was not initially clear.
