Mass outages plague City Power, with residents in some areas even taking to the streets to voice their displeasure.
City Power is dealing with scores of unplanned outages across Johannesburg as Winter demand pushes its systems and staff to the limit.
The company’s maintenance teams are severely constrained as the city’s infrastructure buckles under the winter demand, which it was not prepared to handle as Eskom’s loadshedding remains suspended. Often the power will be restored only for the different substations in the region to undergo power outages again.
The area is also marked for rolling load reduction, which sees the power off in the mornings and in the evenings, similar to loadshedding.City Power would like to apologise to the residents following the outages that have gripped the township alongside the load reduction that is being implemented to save the system.
