According to grid operator Stedin, “a handful” of households in Amersfoort are without power. According to a spokesperson, this is due to a switching error. There will be planned maintenance in the Amersfoort region in the near future. Residents of streets where the network has been worked on are informed of the work by a letter. Due to a switching error, additional houses were disconnected from the power. That was not the intention according to the network operator.

“We will solve it as quickly as possible and switch the power back on at those houses,” says a Stedin spokesperson. It should be resolved within an hour.

Travelers are advised to check the travel planner before departure.
