Eskom improves the infrastructure for Central Karoo’s electricity

Eskom says it is improving the electricity infrastructure in the Central Karoo in the Western Cape.

According to the power utility, the electricity will be supplied to towns including Sutherland, Roggeveld, Laingsburg, LadIsmith, and Prince Albert.

This comes after a powerful storm that shut electricity for up to two weeks in some areas and damaged vital infrastructure.

According to Mbulelo Yedwa, the general manager of the Cape Coastal Cluster, Eskom will keep making investments in electrical infrastructure and putting policies in place to lessen the effects of extreme weather events

“In addition to the restoration of supply, Eskom’s technical teams have been working diligently working to create an additional alternative supply to ensure a contingency in future, this contingency will be in full operation by the end of this week”, said general manager of the Cape Coastal Cluster Mbulelo Yedwa
