An explosion at the 275kv Klaarwater major substation has caused widespread power outage to half of Durban.
The substation is said to be a key supply point to Durban from Eskom.
According to the eThekwini municipality on Tuesday evening, areas in the Northern, Western and Southern regions of the City are still without power.
The municipality urged residents to switch off “unnecessary” loads like aircons and geysers.
“It will help restore supplies without overload trip outs. It’s safer to switch off at DB to avoid surges damaging appliances,” it said.
