Website to give power cuts info

Pretoria residents will in coming weeks be able to access a website which allows them to enter their street addresses to get specific information on power cuts to their homes and businesses.

Although the Tshwane Metropolitan Council already posts information on planned power cuts on its website, the new site will be more accurate and be updated in real time giving residents the latest information and times on power cuts.

Improved communication is just one of the many plans the city outlined during a meeting between mayor Gwen Ramokgopa and big business in the city about the current electricity crisis in the country.

"Tshwane has a growth rate of above 7% and we want to sustain that by becoming as energy efficient as possible in saving 10-15% but at the same time not influence production or productivity," Ramokgopa told business people attending the meeting at the mayoral chambers.
