Work to restore power supply at the Town Substation continues. Today, ELM and Eskom technicians have completed routine tests on the 30 MVA replacement power transformer. The transformer is in good working condition.
88kV High Voltage Breaker installation is currently underway and is nearing completion. Provided that all goes accordingly, technicians will commence with cabling immediately after the cables are delivered to the site.
Technicians have completed the installation of the Distribution Board (DB) and cabling for the 88kV control room.
The municipality is pleading for patience from affected consumers. It is all hands on deck to speed up the restoration of the power supply. We apologise for the inconvenience.
