Mooikloof substation: Power restored to most areas
The City of Tshwane on Thursday said it had managed to restore power to most parts of Pretoria East following the explosion and fire at the Mooikloof substation.
Last weekend’s blaze destroyed a transformer and distribution panels.
The city said power is back on in several areas, including Mooikloof Estate, Parkview Shopping Complex, Woodlands Mall, Woodhill, The Wilds, Pretoriuspark extensions, a portion of Moreletapark and MK Rural Line.
"The city is pleased to inform our residents and stakeholders that our technical teams have made good progress in restoring power to affected communities following the recent fire incident at the Mooikloof substation,” said Tshwane MMC for Utilities Themba Fosi.
"We are pleased to announce that our technical teams are working diligently to address some of the remaining issues while most of the repairs have been completed."
The metro said power was also temporarily restored in Mooikloof Ridge Estate until a cable fault dumped the area back into darkness.
Boardwalk and Olympus are also still without electricity.
"Our team is actively addressing this issue. An investigation is ongoing after tripping during the switchback at the Onbekend Rural Lines,” Fosi added.
