The City of Tshwane has officially launched the Ga-Rankuwa Zone 14 Electrification Project, bringing electricity to 340 households as part of its ongoing efforts to expand access to basic services across the metro.
The project was officially launched by MMC for Utility Services Frans Boshielo, accompanied by Ward 32 Councillor Floyd Thema and officials from the Energy and Electricity Business Unit (EEBU).
As part of the project, every beneficiary household has been provided with a prepaid electricity meter, while four transformers have been energised to strengthen the local electricity network and improve the reliability of power supply.
The electrification programme was implemented using overhead medium- and low-voltage network infrastructure, designed to improve access to electricity while enhancing the stability and resilience of the distribution network.
Speaking during the launch, MMC Boshielo said the project demonstrates the City's commitment to ensuring more residents have access to safe, reliable and affordable electricity.
He added that electrification remains a key priority in improving service delivery, enhancing residents' quality of life and supporting local economic development.
The Ga-Rankuwa Zone 14 project forms part of the City of Tshwane's broader programme to strengthen electricity infrastructure, expand access to power and improve the reliability of the electricity network across all regions of the metro.
