In ‘n verklaring wat uitgereik is, word rotasie-elektrisiteitsvoorsiening na gebiede wat sedert Saterdag sonder elektrisiteit is, aangekondig. Die rotasie sal vieruurliks plaasvind en die publiek word gemaan om ook Eskom se beurtkrag in ag te neem.
Sedert sewe kragmaste Saterdagaand op die N4 buite Pretoria geval het en ‘n groot gedeelte van Pretoria-Oos, gedeeltes van Centurion en Pretoria-Noord sonder elektrisiteit gelaat is, word daar onverpoosd gewerk om die elektrisiteitstoevoer te herstel.
Buiten die kragdrade wat dwars oor die N4 gehang het, was die voorsiening aan elektrisiteit die grootste probleem. Daar is reeds elektrisiteit na sekere dele herstel.
Gereelde kommunikasie is deur die burgemeester en sy spanne uitgereik om die publiek op hoogte te hou van vordering.

UPDATE: TSHWANE TO IMPLEMENT LOAD ROTATION (REDUCTION) IN ORDER TO PROVIDE POWER TO AREAS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED A PROLONGED OUTAGE:
11:00 12 APRIL 2023
The Tshwane Energy & Electricity technical team has taken the extraordinary step to feed the Waltloo and Mamelodi Substations with electricity from the Njala infeed Substation, and to implement load rotation (reduction) in areas that have power in order to re-channel power to areas that have experienced a prolonged outage. Ordinarily, Waltloo and Mamelodi Substations are fed by the Pumulani Substation, which has also been affected by the power outage which occurred on Sunday night in the wake of suspected vandalism of a pylon along the N4 east freeway.
The incident plunged large parts of Pretoria East, North and a portion of Centurion into darkness.
The team changed the settings and did Protection grading at the Njala Infeed Substation last evening and completed the work this morning. The switching team was dispatched to the Waltloo and Mamelodi Substations this morning to start energising transformers to soak, after which they added the load gradually, while constantly monitoring the load.
Gradual switching will commence shortly.
It should be noted that this interim measure will likely overload the system, and possible trips may occur.
To obviate possible trips due to overload, the city will implement a 4-hourly load reduction in some areas of Watloo, Mamelodi (1,2,3), Pumulani and Koedoespoort supply area.
The city acknowledges that, in addition to daily loadshedding implemented by Eskom, some residents will have to endure the extra pain of load reduction.
This is done to ensure the even and balanced provision of power to all the residents. The load rotation (reduction) will impact parts of Region 2, 3, 5 & 6.
The schedule will be communicated in due course.
