Unscheduled outage hits Kempton Park areas amid planned maintenance

While residents in parts of Kempton Park prepare for a planned electricity interruption due to emergency maintenance today, several other areas are also experiencing an unscheduled power outage.

The City of Ekurhuleni is conducting emergency maintenance that will affect Rhodesfield, Kempton Park X1 and X2, and the CBD and surrounding areas.

According to the city, technicians will carry out the work between 09:00 and 17:30.

However, residents in parts of Edleen, Birch Acres, Terenure, Kempton Park West, Van Riebeeck Park and Chloorkop are also affected by a separate, unscheduled power outage.

In an electricity update issued on Wednesday morning, Ward 104 councillor Tracey Lourenco and Ward 15 councillor Amanda Davison confirmed the affected areas.

The cause of the unscheduled outage had not yet been confirmed at the time of the update, although the relevant technical team had been notified.

An estimated restoration time (ERT) was also still outstanding, with councillors undertaking to share further information as it became available.

Residents affected by the planned maintenance are urged to treat all electrical networks as live while work is underway.

The city said all necessary precautions would be taken to minimise the extent and impact of the planned interruption.
