City Power says it is working hard to address the increasing failure of the back up batteries at several of its major substations.
“Most of our substations that do not come back after load shedding is due to the batteries which are unable to last for four hours load shedding bout to enable for remote switching, forcing us to send Operators around to manually do fault finding and switch on the network.”“City Power has a plan to ramp up the repairs of the battery system and the replacement of the old batteries to ensure we cut down on interruptions after load shedding.
“On investigation we found that the reason for the substation to trip after load shedding was the increased wear-and-tear on the aged batteries at the substation.
