About Power Outages in Tshwane
The City of Tshwane Energy & Electricity Division is responsible for distributing electricity across the metro, which covers Pretoria, Centurion, Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Mabopane, Atteridgeville, Hammanskraal, Cullinan, Bronkhorstspruit, Ekangala and surrounding areas. Bulk supply comes from Eskom.
Unplanned outages in Tshwane typically come from:
- Cable and equipment faults - cable theft and ageing infrastructure are common, especially in older suburbs and informal-settlement-adjacent feeders.
- Planned maintenance - announced ahead of time on @CityTshwane and on the website.
- Load reduction - applied during peak-demand periods to prevent transformer overload on strained feeders. Different from national load shedding.
These are different from national load shedding, which is driven by Eskom generation shortfalls and affects the whole country on a rotation.
