Repair work on the 132kV cable to restore electricity supply from the Summerstrand substation is still progressing well.

The termination on the overhead line has been completed and only oil purification and pumping are outstanding. If all goes according to plan, we are still expecting to restore supply by tonight.

We are still doing our utmost to provide temporary electricity supply on a two-hourly basis to the affected consumers from Summerstrand, Forest Hill and parts of South End and Humewood.

However for this interim measure to work well enough to benefit as many consumers as possible, we would like to once again request that electricity be used sparingly.
