In a press release, Creos, the national electricity grid operator, reported that a transformer on Rue Principale, not far from the Duerfplaz car park, began to burn early on Tuesday afternoon for reasons that are yet to be determined. For safety reasons, the transformer was disconnected from the network, and firefighters were able to bring the fire quickly under control.
By Tuesday evening, Creos confirmed that the power supply in Ernster had been restored and that the underlying issues had been resolved. However, teams from the operator remained on site to ensure supply security and to carry out any remaining necessary work. Creos expressed its gratitude to customers for their patience and understanding during the disruption.
