LOAD REDUCTION IN THE MORNING

Eskom will implement load reduction tomorrow, 17 August 2020, from 05:00 to 09:00.

Areas affected will be Kaalfontein, Ebony Park, Ivory Park, Lindokuhle and Tswelopelo. The load reduction is implemented by the Power Utility to avoid network overloading in high density areas and areas that have high instances of illegal connections and meter bypassing.

During the load reduction customers are reminded to switch off all electrical appliances to avoid power surges when the power returns.

Failure to do so may lead to transformer trips or failures and damage to household appliances.

Communities are encouraged to report meter bypasses, illegal connections and vandalism of electrical infrastructure on the Eskom Crime Line : 0800 11 27 22.

Meanwhile, parts of Ebony Park and Kaalfontein have been experiencing power outages which have not been reported by Eskom.
