Please note:
Eskom’s blackouts typically cause power faults due to nuisance tripping and increased service requests.
Please wait at least 30 minutes before logging a service request alerting the City that the power in your area has not come back after load-shedding. Sometimes, the issue is already being resolved. City teams will do their best to attend to any outages as soon as possible.
 
City’s service channels (please only use one channel and don't log the same request multiple times):
SMS: 31220 (standard charges apply)
Email: power@capetown.gov.za
