City reminds residents of planned required power supply interruption in Milnerton

The City Electricity Generation and Distribution Department would like to remind residents in Milnerton that a planned necessary electricity interruption will be carried out on Saturday, 29 October 2022, from 20:00 to 08:00 the following day. This is critical maintenance to a major substation in the area which needs to be carried out. The maintenance work ensures reliable electricity supply for residents in Milnerton.

We thank our customers for their understanding. The interruption will enable City officials to carry out the necessary maintenance work at the Milnerton Main Substation.

‘The City apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks residents for their cooperation. This particular substation supplies electricity to Milnerton and the surrounding areas including Marconi Beam and Sunset Beach. City teams are on the ground on a daily basis in areas across the metro to complete maintenance and upgrades to substations, infrastructure cables and electricity kiosks among others,’ 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.
