The City of Cape Town is set to undertake a significant electricity upgrade over a 55-hour period, which will affect six areas across the municipality. This necessary maintenance project is aimed at improving the reliability and capacity of the electrical infrastructure in the region, ensuring long-term energy stability for residents and businesses.
The affected areas include key residential and industrial zones, where power disruptions are expected during the upgrade window. The upgrade is scheduled to begin on Friday evening and will continue through the weekend, with work anticipated to be completed by Sunday night.
The city’s energy department has released detailed information to ensure that residents are well-prepared for the temporary outage. Emergency services will be on high alert, and local officials have advised residents to make alternative plans for power usage during the scheduled downtime.
This upgrade is part of a broader initiative by the City of Cape Town to modernize its energy infrastructure and reduce the occurrence of unplanned power outages. The municipality is committed to enhancing the quality of service delivery and improving the resilience of its grid, particularly in light of the growing demand for electricity.
The city government has also reassured affected residents and businesses that they will be kept informed throughout the process, and that any unexpected delays or complications will be swiftly communicated. The upgrade is expected to bring significant long-term benefits, including reduced load-shedding and better energy management.
Residents in the affected areas are encouraged to follow updates from the City of Cape Town’s official communication channels for the latest information and guidelines during the upgrade period.
