Power outage hits Hochfeld

1 Month Ago - 2024-03-11 12:13:00

NamPower said that the Midgard Lodge, Ovitoto Village and surrounding areas have been without power since 19:19 on Sunday, 10 March 2024.
According to a media release, “the prevailing situation is due to a broken lightning arrester pole at the Hochfeld Substation that caused damage to the 66kV Red Phase breaker leg”.
The utility said that their technical personnel are currently attending to the problem, cautioning the public to treat all power lines and electrical points as “live” during power outages as no prior notification is given when power supply would be restored.
