About 25,000 households temporarily without power at Amsterdam – NU.nl

The current fell Tuesday by a failure in a switching station. There suddenly came smoke.

For 11,000 of those connections technicians Liander had solved the problem at 3:00 pm with a detour.

Liander expects mechanics until needed approximately 8.00 have all other households and businesses again with power.

Fire

Mechanics had to wait long before they were able to work, said a spokesman for Alliander. From the substation was to come to pass it first smoke and fire.

Only around 2:00 o’clock in the morning the mechanics inside could. They now know which plant it is.

Emergency services have more work by the outage. The police have deployed extra police surveillance. The fire brigade had to take action.



Lifts

Because of the failure of people were stuck in elevators. Members of the administrative committee Amsterdam Southeast could for once home early; they bark dominated their meeting halfway because the light had gone out.

Who more than four hours without power, is entitled to compensation of at least 35 euros. The amount rises when the fault takes another four hours or more.

People who are entitled to compensation need to submit a claim. The amount will be deducted automatically with their energy bills
