City Power has announced a planned maintenance at the Braamfontein Substation on Wednesday, 29 October 2025.
The interruption is scheduled to begin at 8am and end at 6pm on Wednesday.
This will affect residents in the Libridge building.
According to the power utility, the interruption is necessary for essential maintenance work on its network, part of a Programme to continually provide better service.
“During an outage, unplug all appliances to prevent inrush current when the power supply is restored. This minimises the risk of network disruptions and ensures a continuous electricity supply,” it warned.
As the supply may be restored at any time, customers are urged to treat their electricity supply points as live at all times.
It noted that it regrets any inconvenience caused by the outage.
