GEORGE NEWS - All customers in Wilderness are currently still online.
The municipality's Electrotechnical Services Directorate is monitoring the loading closely.
The George Municipality would like to thank the public for reducing their electricity consumption and to please continue to do so, as we are still on an emergency supply with limited capacity.
Wilderness and surrounds experienced an unexpected power outage due to a fault on an Eskom power line yesterday.
Eskom could not locate the fault up until now. The George Municipality’s Electro-Tech Department whom is responsible for the electricity supply in the city, provided an alternative power supply to the whole Wilderness area. Eskom is still also attending to the situation.
This is a temporary alternative power supply, which cannot carry the demand today. Therefore, a rotational load shedding was implemented in Wilderness to ensure some continuity of power supply.
The following rotational load shedding were implemented in the Wilderness area:
Please note that this is an emergency schedule, which means that it may or may not be implemented depending on real-time loading
Power will be off from 10: 00 -11:00 at Wilderness heights, from heights road up to 10 Myl laan.
