When will the power come back on in Burlington Greenfields?
eThekwini does not publish an estimated restoration time for every fault, so the cause is the best guide to how long it runs.
- Tripped feeder or breaker: usually back within a few hours, once a team has switched the load over.
- Equipment failure or cable fault: most of a working day, longer if a cable has to be replaced.
- Theft and vandalism: often more than a day, because stolen cable and gear have to be sourced before the repair starts.
- Planned maintenance: an announced daytime window, with the end time given in the notice.
What to do during a power outage in Burlington Greenfields
- Switch appliances off at the wall so a surge does not damage them when the power returns.
- Keep the fridge and freezer closed - food stays cold for several hours unopened.
- Leave one light on so you can see when supply is restored.
- Check with a neighbour. If they have power, the fault may be your own trip switch or connection.
- Report it on 080 311 1111 - eThekwini dispatches on logged faults, so an unreported outage can wait longer.

When will the power come back on in Burlington Greenfields?
eThekwini does not publish an estimated restoration time for every fault. As a rule, a tripped feeder is usually back within a few hours, an equipment or cable fault takes most of a working day, and theft or vandalism can run past a day because material has to be sourced first. When a fault is live, the restoration percentage above is the City's own progress figure.
How do I report a power outage in Burlington Greenfields?
Call eThekwini Electricity on 080 311 1111 (toll-free, 24/7), WhatsApp 076 791 2449 with your name, contact number, full street address and a description of the fault, or email electricity.faults@durban.gov.za. Have your meter number ready.
Is it load shedding or a power outage in Burlington Greenfields?
Load shedding follows a published timetable. If the power in Burlington Greenfields is off outside that schedule, it is an unplanned power outage - a fault, cable theft or equipment failure - and it needs to be reported before a technician is dispatched.
What should I do while the power is off in Burlington Greenfields?
Switch appliances off at the wall so a surge does not damage them when supply returns, keep the fridge and freezer closed, and leave one light switched on so you can see when the power is back. Check whether your neighbours are also off: if they have power, the fault may be your own connection or trip switch.
