City Power’s Charles Tlouane says the utility will ensure the work is done without interrupting power supply to other areas.
City Power ’s Charles Tlouane says it will cost roughly R23 million to reroute interconnector cables from the Fordsburg substation to Braamfontein after a fire under the M1 highway knocked out power to several parts of Johannesburg.
Criminals allegedly targeted copper cables on a double-decker segment of the M1 highway feeding the Braamfontein area. City Power CEO Tshifularo Mashava said it also threatened the recently relaunched open cycle gas turbine nearby, which she said had cost R100 million to refurbish.
