In the wake of the events that have been happening on the Electrical Network, the municipality has resolved that Eskom should commission the outstanding transformer No. 3, which has been out for refurbishment. This comes as a remedial action to the spurious outages that we have been experiencing.
After commissioning we will have the full complement of four (4) transformers, instead of three (3) that we had over the last few months. However, for transformer NO. 3 to be commissioned, Eskom must switch off transformer No. 4, meaning that we will be left with a capacity of 80MVA. The outage starts at 07H30 to 16H00 today.
The Electrical Department has scheduled the load shedding as follows:
From 09H00 to 11H00:
