Overview
- Multiple improvised explosive devices were discovered at the Preilack electrical substation that distributes power from the Jänschwalde plant, and operators reported a brief interruption to supply on Tuesday.
- Authorities and operators said the devices caused material damage to a transformer conduit and several lines, but accounts differ on whether any device actually detonated.
- Transmission operator 50Hertz and plant operator LEAG said crews repaired the damaged lines and that the wider grid and local supply were not left without power.
- Regional police have opened an investigation, report no injuries, and have not identified suspects or motives for the attack.
- The incident follows a string of recent attacks on Berlin-area energy infrastructure and raises fresh questions about security measures and whether the pattern reflects domestic sabotage or foreign interference.
