For the translation of the letter you have received read below
Energy deserves attention. As a network operator we are working to develop an energy network that meets the demands of today and tomorrow. In the near future we will therefore be carrying out maintenance work on the gas network in your area. While this work is taking place there will be a temporary interruption to your gas supply. You can read more about this in this letter and the enclosed information sheet.
We will be working on the gas network in your area from [check your letter for the date]
To allow us to work safely, we need to shut off the gas supply. During the above-mentioned period you will therefore be without gas for a number of hours. Unfortunately, we cannot say exactly when your gas will be shut off and for how long. This will depend on what we discover during the maintenance work. We understand that this will be inconvenient for you, especially as we are all now spending much more time at home or working from home. We will, of course, do everything we can to keep the interruption to your supply as short as possible.
We will come to your property to turn off the gas tap temporarily
During the maintenance work we will visit your property to turn off your gas tap to allow us to work safely. Please feel free to ask the person who visits for identification. We will only be able to carry out the work if a person aged 18 or over is present at the address.
