Torgau power outage: broad restoration, Repitz uncertainty remains
Stadtwerke Torgau reports that a cable fault interrupted electricity in Torgau and surrounding network areas on 4 November 2026. The operator records an interruption from 13:16 to 14:47 local time for the broadly restored area. Its 16:14 update retains a possible exception for Repitz, so restoration at every address remains unconfirmed.
Status of this incident
Current status unconfirmed
Last known status: partly restored · Broad restoration reported; the operator’s 16:14 update retains possible longer restrictions in Repitz. Complete restoration remains unconfirmed.

In 20 seconds
The operator names Torgau, Mehderitzsch, Weßnig, Beckwitz, Zinna and Welsau; no affected-customer total is provided.
Stadtwerke Torgau attributes the cable damage to third-party excavation and says switching restored supply.
The 16:14 local update warns of possible longer restrictions in Repitz; its subsequent supply status is unverified.
Reported interruption and restoration times
The operator dates the interruption to 4 November, beginning at 13:16 and ending at 14:47 for the broadly restored footprint. In the Europe/Berlin time zone, those times correspond to 12:16 and 13:47 UTC. The later qualification for Repitz means the 14:47 time cannot be treated as a verified completion time for every address.
The bulletin was published at 14:53 local time and updated at 16:14. These are publication and update times, separate from the reported interruption period. The 16:14 statement is the latest operational evidence recorded here; a later source check does not establish a new restoration event or current supply at an individual property.
What the sources tell us, and what they do not
- Named network areas
- Torgau, Mehderitzsch, Weßnig, Beckwitz, Zinna and Welsau; affected-customer count unknown
- Operator-reported cause and response
- Cable damage during third-party excavation; switching restored supply
- Restoration boundary
- Broad restoration at 14:47 CET; possible longer restrictions in Repitz retained at 16:14 CET
Cable damage and the named areas
Stadtwerke Torgau attributes the fault to cable damage during excavation by a third party and says switching restored supply. This is the operator’s account of the cause and response. The third party’s identity and the precise circumstances remain unverified in the available record.
The named network areas include Torgau, Mehderitzsch, Weßnig, Beckwitz, Zinna and Welsau. The statement provides no affected-customer or property count. The place list therefore should not be read as evidence that every connection in each area lost electricity. Repitz carries its own explicit qualification: restrictions there could last longer.
Repitz still needs a dated follow-up
The available update does not establish a final restoration time for Repitz. Its supply status after 16:14 remains unverified. A subsequent all-clear would need to cover that area explicitly before this report could describe complete restoration. The absence of a newer statement alone cannot resolve the remaining uncertainty.
