Multiple areas in the Western Cape without electricity supply due to veldfires
Eskom customers across the Western Cape are without electricity supply after veldfires damaged Eskom network infrastructure.
Areas still affected:
Cape Metropole – Eskom Recovery teams are conducting a site assessment on the Dunoon electrical network to determine the extent of the fire damage. Once assessments are complete, an estimated time of restoration will be communicated.
Cape Winelands District (Franschhoek, Wemmershoek and surrounding farms) – Eskom recovery teams started with repair work and managed to restore power to Kylemore and parts of Stellenbosch.
Overberg Region – Eskom repair teams are on site with repair work to restore supply. The estimated restoration time has been extended to due to challenges the teams experienced in the mountainous terrain. Araes impacted include: Arniston; Bredasdorp; Buffeljasrivier; Heidelberg; Struisbaai; and Suurbrak.
Eskom apologises for any inconvenience and thanks its customers for their patience.
