Heideveld power cut scheduled as City announces maintenance

Residents in parts of Heideveld should prepare for a temporary electricity interruption next week as the City of Cape Town carries out essential maintenance on the local supply network, Cape {town} Etc reports.

The planned work is scheduled for Monday, 9 November 2026, between 08:00 and 12:00. The City has cautioned that the four-hour timeframe is only an estimate, meaning electricity could take longer to return if the work proves more complex than expected.

Several streets could be affected, including Jonkershoek Way, Bloukrans Road, Devil’s Peak Road, Sneeuberg Road, Buffelshoek Street, Cathkin Road and Cathedral Peak Crescent.

However, the City has stressed that not every property in the listed streets will necessarily lose power. The extent of the interruption will depend on the nature of the electrical work being carried out.

The maintenance is intended to improve the quality and reliability of electricity supply in the area.

The City has also advised households to take precautions before the work begins. Appliances should be switched off to reduce the risk of damage from possible power surges when electricity is restored.

Importantly, residents must treat all electrical installations as live throughout the maintenance period, as the supply could be restored at any time.

The City apologised for the inconvenience and thanked residents for their cooperation while the essential maintenance and repair work is completed.
