| German Companies Scramble to Buy Generators Amid Grid Collapse Fears |
| 2022-11-23 |
| [Breitbart] Medium and large companies have reportedly been scrambling to purchase electricity generators amid fears that the country could see parts of its national grid collapse. Companies responsible for the sale of electricity generators in Germany are reported to be seeing their business boom with many enterprises reportedly fearing that there could be widespread power outages or even partial grid collapse throughout Germany this winter. It comes after one senior official in Germany recently warned that the country must now "assume" there will be serious power outages over the coming months, and plan accordingly for them. Despite attempts by authorities to quash this warning almost as soon as it was made, it appears that reassurances from various parts of the German federal government have failed to convince many businesses, with Der Spiegel reporting that the country is now well and truly experiencing a run on electricity generators. According to the newspaper, a company spokesman for engine manufacturer Rolls Royce has described business this year as being extremely good for the company, with its entire 2023 stock of generators being nearly sold out by the first half of 2022, with many companies reportedly afraid of seeing their electronic equipment going down. "The waiting times for the units is currently six to twelve months," the spokesman reportedly said, who also noted that "data traffic is increasing in almost all sectors" and that both "medium-sized companies as well as large corporations" want to secure their digital networks in the event of a loss of power. |
