Germany could be facing blackouts and the collapse of the power grid this winter after citizens began panic buying electric heaters over fears gas supplies could be cut off.
Having previously exhausted supplies of firewood and stoves, Germans are now turning to electric heaters as a back up option to prevent them freezing when the temperatures drop.
However, Peter Lautz, the boss of the Stadtwerke Wiesbaden Netz utility company, told public broadcaster ZDF that this would place massive strain on the country’s electricity grid.
Electric heaters being plugged in simultaneously when temperatures fall could cause a massive overload because they use between 1,000 and 3,000 watts of energy.
“If everyone switched on a fan heater at home, it would mean that we would have to almost double the existing network structure on every street,” said Lautz.
600,000 electric heaters were sold in the first half of 2022 alone, a 35 per cent increase on usual numbers, with that figure likely to rise further as the colder months approach.
20 million German homes currently dependent on gas switching to electric heaters could also wreak havoc on key infrastructure.
“Blackouts would not just hit private household but also affect German infrastructure, including cash payment systems, mobile phone networks, and street lighting, said Martin Kleimaier from the Association of Electrical Engineering (VDE). These networks could also be down for long periods of time,” reports Remix News.
The solution is apparently to switch to smart meters, which can be remotely controlled to prevent a collapse of the power grid.
Germany has put itself in this situation thanks to its over dependence on Russian gas, its support for the ‘current thing’, and its reliance on green energy, which isn’t fit for purpose.
As we previously highlighted, cities across Germany are planning to use sports arenas and exhibition halls as ‘warm up spaces’ this winter to help freezing citizens who are unable to afford skyrocketing energy costs.
Germans have also been told to take fewer showers, wear more layers of clothing and avoid washing their clothes and driving their cars as often.
Meanwhile, a prominent German official is predicting riots in response to energy shortages that will make anti-lockdown unrest look like a “children’s birthday party.”

The Germans have been an occupied country since WW2, and they’ve done nothing about it, so let them freeze.
Carl Jones is right…but A. Merkel and “migrant” loving scum like her would be in the ground if it weren’t for 100,000 American troops ( now helping Slavs kill each other ) …well, on a positive note, maybe the freezing cold might drive away the filth from Africa.
Carl Jones–the Germans were fully traumatised when your Scum bombed all their cities so thoroughly. This is your work, White-hater
And why did Angela Merkel shut down Germany’s nuclear program?
Oh yes, because of all those scary Greenpeace adverts showing planes crashing into power stations. Consequently Germany has a long, cold, scary, winter ahead, with no electricity.
German electricity prices surge out of control, social instability threatens….German Chancellor assures police won’t open fire on demonstrators.

And we all believe everything politicians tell us, surely?
For those who repeat the suggestion that all Germany has to do to solve the energy crisis is fire up those mothballed nuclear reactors…
They appear to run on natural gas, coal, solar and wind-power and are doing something else entirely. For all we know, they are producing the poisons that go into chemtrails among other things. Do they use all that electricity to vaporize heavy metals and isolate isotopes with magnetic arrays? If you are something of an expert on ‘generating electricity from the atom’, be kind enough to describe how this works. In your own words.
The clueless should avoid voicing opinions about anything atomic and if you can’t understand gravity, you might want to avoid giving opinions about the geometry of the earth. IMHO
“The solution is apparently to switch to smart meters, which can be remotely controlled to prevent a collapse of the power grid.”
How convenient…
Looks like Schwab’s WEF agent Putin’s actions are all serendipitously contributing to the WEF economic/energy objectives for the West…lol
@ CARL JONES
RIGHT
hope the invaded parasites run
for airtickets home . there is warmth.
they will not need healthpass out
as they did not need in .
“Cities across Germany are planning to use sports arenas and exhibition halls as ‘warm up spaces’ this winter to help freezing citizens who are unable to afford skyrocketing energy costs.” .. Taking that a step further in addressing the problem, citizens torching the Bundestag with all the treasonous politicians still locked inside would offer a great amount of heat and hope.
Unless you are 99 per cent dead already, the “cold” does not hurt you, anyway
Germany could be facing blackouts and the collapse of the power grid this winter ?? Never mind that, as long as they are winning in Ukraine all’s fine ..
