City Power continues to roll out free basic electricity
City Power's free basic electricity (FBE) programme remains open, and they are urging customers who qualify to register before the closing date
ity Power is urging indigent customers within the Randburg Service Delivery Centre (SDC) supply areas to register for the free basic electricity (FBE) programme before the deadline on July 31.
City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena explained that this initiative primarily targets vulnerable households, including the unemployed, pensioners, child-headed households, and those earning under R7 503.01 or less per month, providing 50kWh of free electricity monthly to help meet essential household needs.
Additionally, indigent customers will be exempt from the R70 service charge and R130 network capacity charge, for a total of R200 in savings every month.
“This is part of our continued efforts to provide relief for the most vulnerable members of our community during these challenging economic times,” said Mangena.
Customers are encouraged to register by visiting the Randburg SDC weekdays from 08:00 – 16:00. The application form is also available on the City Power website: www.citypower.co.za.
Customers should bring along the following documents for registration:
- ID,
- City Power prepaid meter number,
- Proof of income,
- Proof of address,
- Proof of Sassa grant (if applicable),
- Latest 3 months bank statements, and
- COJ rates and taxes account.
Mangena added that customers should take advantage of this opportunity to reduce their monthly electricity costs and ease the financial strain on their household. “This registration drive is crucial in ensuring that eligible households receive the support they need to maintain access to essential electricity services.”
