This is the first time I hear that there is strict (or any) electricity rationing in Germany and I've lived here all my life.

They might be mixing up Germany and South Africa i think. IIRC they do have times where they have planned outages in the different areas as the grid can't handle it if all were able to use it at the same time.

South Africa has outages but it's more down to corruption and mismanagement than grid issues.
