City Power reports full restoration to customers supplied by Tshepisong Switching Station lines A and B.
The statement concerns an outage reported on the evening of 1 November 2026.
The cause, customer total, exact outage onset and restoration switching time remain unknown.
Restoration reported for both lines
City Power published its restoration notice at 23:14:33 SAST on 1 November, equivalent to 21:14:33 UTC. It says power has been fully restored to customers supplied by Tshepisong Switching Station lines A and B following the evening outage. This is the publication time of the statement, rather than a verified time at which the network was switched back on.
The reported restoration applies to the customers supplied by the two named lines. The statement provides no complete street list or customer total. It therefore cannot establish the number of people affected or the position at every address in the wider area. No independent address-level audit of electricity supply is available in the checked evidence.
What the sources tell us, and what they do not
- Reported scope
- Customers supplied by Tshepisong Switching Station lines A and B, Johannesburg
- Reported outcome
- City Power reports full restoration; no independent address-level verification
- Timing
- Notice: 1 November 2026, 23:14:33 SAST / 21:14:33 UTC; exact onset and switching time unknown
Cause and outage duration remain unknown
The exact onset of the interruption is unknown, so the duration cannot be calculated from the late-evening announcement. City Power does not give a cause in this notice. Earlier Tshepisong incidents cannot supply the missing explanation: a shared location or line name is insufficient to establish that an older fault caused this evening’s interruption.
The current evidence consists of one operator statement. The restoration claim is attributed to that operator, and no additional independent confirmation is recorded. The checked record supports a restoration report for lines A and B after the 1 November evening outage, while leaving the number of affected connections, the full address footprint and the precise switching times unresolved.
