The City Electricity Generation and Distribution Department would like to inform residents in parts of Mowbray and Rondebosch that a planned necessary electricity interruption will be carried out on Saturday, 19 November 2022 from 21:30 to 08:00 the following day, or on Saturday, 10 December 2022 from 21:30 to 08:00, depending on weather conditions, but not on both days.

This is critical maintenance to a major substation in the area, which needs to be carried out.

The interruption will enable City officials to carry out the necessary maintenance work at the Broad Road Main Substation in Mowbray. This substation supplies parts of Mowbray and Rondebosch and the affected residents will be notified via a letter drop.

We thank our customers for their understanding.

‘The City apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks residents for their cooperation. City teams remain on the ground on a daily basis in our communities to complete maintenance and upgrades to substations, infrastructure cables and electricity kiosks among others. We encourage residents to visit the City’s website to view the map of the affected streets, or to contact the Electricity Department’s Technical Operations Centre on 0860 103 089 for more information or for enquiries,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Energy, Councillor Beverley van Reenen.

Please note:

The electricity supply could be restored at any time and customers must please treat all electrical installations as live for the full duration of the interruption.

Residents are encouraged to switch off appliances as a precaution and to avoid damage caused by power surges when the power comes back on.

Contact the City’s Call Centre on 0860 103 089 for more information or if you have any enquiries regarding the planned electricity supply interruption.
