Eskom has restored electricity to disaster stricken Jagersfontein on Wednesday, 14 September 2022.
“Eskom technicians worked around the clock to install and energise a replacement transformer at Badplaas Substation in Jagersfontein after Rietkuil Substation was destroyed on Sunday,
11 September 2022, when mud burst through a broken wall of a nearby mining dam, flooding the area.” said eskom in a statement
The power utility says it aimed to restore supply before midnight on Tuesday, 13 September 2022, but minor complications delayed the recovery process.
Eskom delivers electricity in bulk to Centlec who then distributes it to Jagersfontein and Charlesville.
Electricity users who are still without supply should report it to their electricity service provider.
