Repairs at the Mayfair Substation, which caught fire on Tuesday, are expected to be completed on Thursday morning.
City Power experienced technical challenges during repair work at Mayfair Substation, delaying the planned start of the first phase of electricity restoration to critical customers, including the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) and Netcare Garden City Hospital.
Despite the setback, technical teams have made progress with repairs to the cables and other critical electricity infrastructure.
Teams also remain on site, working to resolve the outstanding issues.
Noel Masso, City Power’s Group Head, said the first phase of restoration would prioritise critical customers, in Mayfair, Crown, Aucklandpark, Vrededorp, Brixton, Crosby, Pageview, Homestead Park and Amalgam.
These include the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) in Auckland Park, Garden City Hospital in Mayfair, as well as residential and business customers in Mayfair, Crown, Vrededorp, Brixton, Crosby, Pageview, Homestead Park and Amalgam.
