#JoburgUpdates #LenasiaSDC

City Power is glad to announce that power is back at Nancefield Substation. The widespread outage was caused by cable theft which happened during loadshedding in the early hours of Wednesday (12 April).^LP
Power was not restored after loadshedding in a number of areas particularly Nancefield Industrial and some parts of Eldorado Park and Kliptown.
Upon investigation it was found that there had been cable theft on two distributors during loadshedding which resulted in both Nancefield and Eldorado Park Substations switching off.
Further, Eldorado Park Substation has a running problem of cable
fault. The following is a summary of the situation.

The following areas were affected:
Nancefield Substation:
1) Eldorado Proper.
2) Eldorado Park Ext 8
3) Mandela Square (Kliptown)
4) Walter Sisulu Square (Kliptown)
5) Slovo Park
6) Nancefield Industrial.
7) Olifantsvlei.
8) Bushkoppies.
9) Klipspruit West.

Power in the above areas has been restored except for Joburg Water Olifantsvlei where further
repairs are required.
The outage at the Eldorado Park Substation has affected the following areas:
1) Eldorado Park ext. 6 and 7.
2) Devland
3) Freedom Park
The main problem with the Eldorado Park Substation is that 5 load centres are off due to cable fault.
Test branch is onsite to locate cable fault, after this the team will embark on repairs. Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR) is 21h00 if all goes according to plan.

END....

#LoadsheddingUpdate

City Power customers have been experiencing many outages after loadshedding restorations and prolonged outages due to the higher stages of blackouts.

^DR
Loadshedding Stage 6 is causing more shocks and challenges for City Power, its systems and infrastructure, and by extension, the customers.
The main reason that is causing these trips is due to overloaded circuits. Simplified, tripping means the interruption in electricity supply which occurs when protective relays sense a fault, either from overload, equipment failure, cable fault or other factors.
