Streetlights Restored Across Enexis Service Area After KPN Network Failure

Enexis blames a fault in KPN’s remote control network that switches public lighting.

Overview

  • The outage began around 19:00 Monday and was resolved between roughly 21:00 and 21:15 local time after an initial estimate of 22:15.
  • The disruption reached all five provinces where Enexis operates: Drenthe, Groningen, Overijssel, Noord-Brabant and Limburg.
  • Municipal updates cited dark streets in places including Aa en Hunze, Meppel and Assen, while other neighborhoods reported no loss of lighting.
  • Enexis said the electrical grid remained up because the failure was confined to the communications system that triggers streetlights.
  • Regional outlets reported lights coming back on across Brabant and Drenthe, with some locations recovering later as systems restarted.
