7am – City Power swamped with over 2,000 outages
The cold spell has arrived in Gauteng and Johannesburg’s power grid is feeling the heat.
City Power is dealing with over 2,000 outages across the metro, with new faults continuing to be reported.
City Power says the cold weather is driving up the use of heaters, geysers and stoves, putting extra strain on the grid.
Rain is also slowing down repairs.
Residents are urged to lighten the load by saving electricity, especially during peak hours.
