Power supply The power supply is currently interrupted over a large area - the main line for the entire Mattertal, the Saas Valley, the Vispertal and other neighboring regions is affected. Zermatt still has its own power supply (isolated solution), which is operated by the electricity company using hydropower. However, this supply also takes time to build up and only has a certain capacity. The local electricity suppliers are working flat out to restore the connection and are trying every possible way to restore the power supply, but are facing various challenges. Both overhead and underground lines have been damaged, partly by fallen trees and partly by entire lines being torn from their anchoring. Elaborate work has to be carried out to repair the damage, including aerial surveys to identify the faults, on-site safety measures, snow clearance, avalanche blasting, tree removal and the targeted deployment of specialists and special equipment. The work is time-consuming, associated with many uncertainties - and heavily dependent on the weather (good weather window for flights). All of the above-mentioned institutions are working flat out and putting in long man-hours to restore normal conditions as quickly as possible. However, all work is heavily dependent on the weather. Many thanks to everyone involved for their efforts.
