On Saturday May 14th, T.R.A.C.S celebrated the 66th edition of the Eurovision song contest. The party started slow. But after a while more guests arrived.
But than, all went black here in Groningen. Real live.
The city of Groningen and the surrounding area were hit by a major power outage on Saturday evening. The problems started at 10:03 PM and was completely resolved more than an hour later, at 11:06 PM.
Energy company Enexis reported that around 15,000 addresses were affected by the outage. It concerned a large area that stretched from Ten Boer to Zuidlaren and from Stad to Harkstede. In total, 25 villages were without electricity.
Groningen was particularly affected by the power outage in the neighborhood around the Euroborg. The problem was in the distribution station next to the Euroborg. And that is my neighborhood RL.
Energy company Enexis immediately sent technicians to the site. The cause turned out to be a faulty transformer.
When I could return, the club was empty. There was not much left to do than set off the lights. I know that it was not my fault, but I am sorry that this happend and I hope we meet again soon.
