City Power Schedules Planned Outage Affecting 28 Suburbs in Johannesburg
On April 23, 2026, a planned power outage by City Power will impact 28 suburbs in Johannesburg for eight hours. This outage is necessary for essential maintenance on the electricity network to improve service reliability.

City Power Johannesburg will implement a power outage affecting 28 suburbs on April 23, 2026, from 9:00 to 17:00. The outage is due to essential maintenance at the Randjiespark Switching Station and New Road Substation, aimed at enhancing service delivery.
Specific suburbs impacted include Randjiespark, Tsessebe Crescent, and parts of Lever Road among others. In a separate incident, police arrested three suspects after a group of residents demanded immediate repairs for ongoing outages, leading to property damage at the Inner City Service Delivery Centre. City Power also reported a transformer failure since March 30 has complicated electricity restoration efforts in the Randjiespark area, prompting the deployment of a generator to assist in power supply.
