The City’s Electricity Generation and Distribution Department advises residents in parts of Hout Bay of critical electricity maintenance to the major Bisschop substation that will be carried out on 25 April and 9 May 2024. The City apologises for any inconvenience caused.
Due to the complex nature of the infrastructure work, supply will be interrupted and the time of restoration may be delayed by a few hours.
Our teams will work as quickly as possible to complete all upgrades within the 08:00 to 20:00 communicated time.
The electricity infrastructure maintenance will be carried out on:
• Thursday, 25 April 2024, from 08:00 to 20:00 and on
• Thursday, 9 May 2024, from 08:00 to 20:00
The interruption will only affect the highlighted area on the map.
Please note:
The electricity supply could be restored at any time and customers must please treat all electrical installations as live for the full duration of the interruption. Residents are encouraged to switch off appliances as a precaution and to avoid damage caused by power surges when the power comes back on.
