The city says its previous plan to implement load rotation in areas that were not impacted by the outage is no longer necessary.
The city also said it expected to restore power to all areas affected by the outage by Thursday evening.from the mayoral committee member for utility services and regional operation and coordination, Themba Fosi, at 18:30 on Wednesday evening.
A few hours earlier, Tshwane said its energy and electricity technical team had reconfigured the Waltloo and Mamelodi substations to receive electricity from the Njala infeed substation instead of Pumulani, which the pylon collapse had impacted.At the time, it was believed this temporary plan would require a load rotation scheme that would cut off power in areas that had not been affected by the outage, to balance the load on the stations.
“Originally, it was thought that this was going to require a system of load rotation in the entire affected area, but our technicians managed to balance the system in a manner that should allow us to restore all areas without load rotation, pending any possible problems. “We are continuously working to restore areas, and new areas are being returned to service every few hours.”However, Fosi cautioned that possible trips could occur in areas where power had been restored as the city continued to balance the system to ensure power for all customers.
“To this end, I’d like to ask that residents use electricity as sparingly as possible, particularly around evening peak periods from 17:00—21:00,” Fosi appealed.Baviaanspoort Prison
