R22 million high voltage electricity refurbishment project under way.
The City of Cape Town's Electricity Generation and Distribution Department is carrying out an important R22 million high voltage overhead refurbishment programme which will insulate the 66kV and 132kV high voltage power lines with the newest generation silicone rubber composite
insulators.
These insulators deliver superior performance, are lighter and easier to handle, are less prone to damage and will extend the lifespan of the infrastructure.
The City is busy with important maintenance and upgrades of critical high voltage electricity infrastructure in areas across the metro.
The high voltage electricity infrastructure refurbishment project is being carried out over three years, from 2021 to 2023.
‘The upgrades and maintenance will play an important role in enhancing reliable electricity provision to residents and businesses in areas across the city.
City electricity teams will also attend to the critical components of the high voltage infrastructure, such as the metal conductors, as well as the steel structures which support the conductors and insulators.
