THE Namibia Power Corporation (NamPower) technical team is still working to restore electricity to Okahandja and its surrounding areas following a power outage yesterday.
Yesterday, NamPower’s technical team tried to identify the cause of the outage. Today, they have determined that a fault in the transformer at the Okahandja substation is responsible for the power disruption.
“The faulty transformer has been disconnected and a mobile substation has been connected. The NamPower technical team is currently busy commissioning the mobile substation to ensure that power supply to the town is restored,” the national electric power utility company assured.
NamPower previously advised the public to exercise caution around all power lines and electrical points during the outage, emphasizing that no prior notification will be provided once power is reinstated. This advice remains valid.
NamPower extends apologies to the residents of Okahandja and surrounding areas, as well as the general public, for any inconvenience caused by the outage.
