UPDATE: GEORGE TEMPORARILY RESTORES 65% POWER SUPPLY WHILE ESKOM ATTENDS TO THE POWER OUTAGE PROBLEM IN WILDERNESS
George continues to pick up Wilderness power as Eskom is attending to the power outage problem on its powerline. George Municipality has restored about 65% power supply in the Wilderness area.
Eskom’s transformer at substation Wilderness has faulted over the last night, resulting in a power outage in Wilderness. While Eskom is attending to the problem, the George Municipality is trying to pick up Wilderness via the George power system.
The load is quite high at the moment, so restoring the entire Wilderness will still take a while as we wait for loads to decrease before energizing the next portion.
We would like to request consumers whose power has been restored to use power sparingly so that we can restore the power supply to other consumers quicker.
