R20 Million upgrade for Critical Kragga Kamma Substation

By

Planned and unplanned electricity outages will be a thing of the past for thousands of residents who are supplied by the Kragga Kamma Substation following a R20 Million investment by the City to upgrade the old infrastructure at the substation.

Dating back to 1958 and 1960, the 22kV and 6.6kV switchgears which supplied the residents in areas including Walmer, Mangold Park, Fairview, Westering, Cotswold and Fernglen have been replaced as the multi-year project has now been completed.

NMBM Electricity and Energy Mayoral Committee Member, Cllr Lance Grootboom will on Tuesday, 21 February 2023 officially open the revamped substation which will improve the reliability of supply to all customers serviced by the substation.
