Planned Power Outages: How to Prepare and Where to Check Information?

Maintaining the electrical power system in Serbia requires regular scheduled work on substations, transmission lines, and the low-voltage grid. While these outages are essential for long-term system stability and preventing major failures, they can disrupt your daily plans if you are not informed in advance.

Where to Find Reliable Information?

Official outage announcements are published by Elektrodistribucija Srbije (EDS), but searching through their tables can be tedious. The obavesti.rs portal collects all this data and displays it on a clear interactive map. Simply enter your address or city to instantly see if works are planned for your street today or in the coming days.

Tips for Preparing Before an Outage

Once you know the scheduled time, take the following steps:

Charge your mobile phones, laptops, and external batteries (power banks).

If you work from home, check if your router can run on a UPS or ensure you have a mobile hotspot ready.

Avoid opening the refrigerator and freezer during the work to preserve the temperature. A well-insulated freezer can keep food frozen for up to 48 hours if left closed.

Unplug sensitive electronic devices (computers, TVs) to protect them from potential power surges when the electricity returns.
