After a large-scale power failure in Beuel, employees of Stadtwerke Bonn (SWB) switched affected households back on and thus restored the power supply. According to SWB spokeswoman Veronika John, the power supply was restored in the district around 5 pm. Individual households were therefore already back on the net after 20 minutes.

The power failure affected several districts in Beuel, 14 network stations had failed. According to SWB, the power failure occurred around 4 pm. Among others, the town centre and Ramersdorf were affected. Those affected also reported outages in Küdinghoven and Limperich.
