Overload threatens in Tilburg, grid operator is cutting power

Due to concerns about an overloaded power grid, energy network operator Enexis temporarily shut down a major power station near Tilburg, leaving approximately 10,000 households and businesses without electricity. This marked a rare large-scale intervention by the company. The outage caused traffic lights to fail in several areas, including Gilze, where residents were trapped in elevators, and at the Beekse Bergen attraction. According to Enexis, the sudden surge in electricity demand led to the decision, though the exact cause remains under investigation. By around 11:30 AM, Enexis crews manually reactivated smaller stations in the region, restoring power to most affected areas within fifteen minutes, with the last area receiving electricity within forty minutes.
