Khayelitsha residents will experience load reduction between 5-9p.m on Thursday evening.
In a statement, Eskom says load reduction is
necessary to protect Eskom’s assets by reducing electricity load during peak
hours in high-density areas, which Eskom says is overloading the network.
It added that network overloading causes
damages to electricity infrastructure through explosions of transformers, mini
substations and poses danger to individuals.
The ailing parastatal says it is battling to
keep up with the increased impact of illegal connections and tampering, as well
as the equipment failure caused by overloading.
The areas affected in Khayelitsha includes Site
C, D, DT, and CT sections
Eskom says customers from the affected areas
are asked not to log a fault during these times on Thursday evening.
