Parts of Gauteng will be without electricity due to planned maintenance by Eskom, leading to a nine-hour power outage next week.
The embattled power utility will do the maintenance on Thursday, February 1, 2024.
Eskom said there will be electricity supply disruption in Evaton due to maintenance that will be conducted on the distribution network.
“The power outage will affect customers in Evaton Central on Thursday, 1 February from 9:00 – 18:00. The interruption of electricity is necessary to perform essential maintenance on our distribution power lines,” the power utility said.
Some areas under the City of Ekurhuleni in Gauteng will be without electricity this week due to planned maintenance by Eskom.
Eskom said in the interest of safety, customers should treat all electrical appliances as live at all times during the power outage.
“Eskom apologises for any inconvenience that may be caused by this maintenance. Should circumstances beyond the control of Eskom arise, the planned electricity maintenance may not proceed as communicated,” the power utility added.
