TenneT will check all power cables in Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe fractures. The grid operator sets from Monday additional staff in order to check all electrical connections.
The past week had the power cables in the north to hit hard by wind and sleet. The cables swayed back and forth, so that there were power cuts. TenneT does not rule out that there are also cable breaks are formed.
Cable

The cable hangs four meters above the road, but according to TenneT, there is no danger. "Such a line then switches off," said a spokesman for the network operator. The clamp is being repaired today. The electricity will be temporarily diverted from other power lines.
"Last week we already made a first inspection by helicopter. From Monday all links in the north of the country controlled," said the spokesman. The audit extra priority. "We put extra staff that normally other work to do." TenneT expects that checks take several weeks.
