Explosive devices at a Brandenburg substation forced one unit at the nearby Jänschwalde coal plant offline.

Multiple explosive devices were found at an electrical substation in Brandenburg in eastern Germany on September 1. The incident was described as sabotage affecting power infrastructure.

A local energy-company executive said the disruption caused one unit at the nearby Jänschwalde coal-fired power plant to shut down suddenly. The source did not state the generating capacity of the affected unit.

The report concerned a single plant unit rather than the entire Jänschwalde station. No restoration time, total regional power loss or confirmed perpetrator was provided in the supplied material.
