Electricty update: Summerstrand/Forest Hill/South End/Humewood
Published: November 08, 2021<< BACK TO NEWS
The Nelson Mandela Mandela Bay Municipality developed a short term electricity load reduction schedule for residents from Summerstrand, Forest Hill and parts of Humewood and South End until electricity supply is fully restored.
These clients generally receive their supply from the
Summerstrand electricity substation, but due to the faulty 132kV cable, we are
now temporarily providing supply from the South End substation.
However the South End substation does not have the capacity to
provide electricity to all eight circuits requiring electricity. As a result,
we are endeavouring to provide electricity on a two-hourly rotational system in
the interim.
Group 3 (2nd Avenue, Strandfontein Road and
Nelson Mandela University) is currently on until 18:00.
The full restoration of supply is still expected to be by
tomorrow evening. We are appealing to residents to cut down on their usage of
outside lights, pool pumps and electrical tools until the electricity is fully
restored.
