 FOREWORD
The City of Johannesburg, in its endeavour to become a world class African city, continues to strive and provide better services to its customers and
residents. City Power, one of City of Johannesburg Municipal Owned Entities has committed to align its Key Performance Indicators to the Growth
and Development Strategy 2040 (GDS 2040) as per the City plan.

In 2014/2015 financial year City Power demonstrated financial prudence and good business ethics by attaining an unqualified audit opinion. To
sustain the audit findings, a focus on financial sustainability and improved customer experience needs to be maintained. For the financial year
2016/17, City Power will continue to focus on:

Revenue improvement projects with the intention of reducing Non-Technical losses

Improving customer confidence through accurate billing, by installing smart meters to customers consuming an average above 1,000 kWh per
month
Improving unplanned outages restoration times
Combating theft and vandalism of electrical infrastructure
Increasing planned infrastructure maintenance to ensure reliable electricity supply
In an effort to ensure security of supply to customers, City Power continues to encourage efficient and responsible use of electricity

City Power has embarked on a number of initiatives but not limited to the following:
The rollout of a Residential Time-of-Use tariff to encourage reduction of load during peak demand periods
The implementation of a Load Shedding Mitigation Programme that is geared at minimising the impact of load shedding through:
o The Residential Load Limiting initiative
o The Embedded Generation Policy, which will allow City Power to negotiate power off-take with potential Independent Power Producers
o Exploring Alternative energy options including photovoltaic, waste to energy, biogas, etc.
o Exploring Demand Response opportunities within our customer base, etc.

On behalf of the City of Johannesburg and City Power, I would like to extend our gratitude to our valued customers for the cooperation received
over the past year and we commit to improving our level of service to ensure increased customer satisfaction.

City Power wishes you success in your business endeavours and in your homes.

Director: Metering Services

 SMART TIPS

Here are a few electricity-saving tips you can implement to reduce the load on the overstretched system and help ensure a steady supply of power without the
LIGHTING
inconvenience of blackouts. And, even better, with future electricity tariff increases, youll find that implementing these ideas will significantly reduce your monthly
electricity bill. Lets all work together to get through this crisis.
Save energy, money and prevent eye-strain by lighting your home properly. Follow these guidelines:
The wattage of a lamp is not necessarily a measure of the amount of light it produces, but of the energy it uses
REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER For instance, one 100 watt lamp gives 50% more light than four 25 watt lamps
Fluorescent lamps give 5 times more light and lasts up to 10 times longer than incandescent lamps. Fluorescent lighting is more economical. The thinner the tube
Do not overfill your refrigerator or freezer. Too many items in your fridge reduces food quality and uses more electricity
of the fluorescent lamp, the less electricity it uses. Replace old control gear such as ballasts with modern electronic equivalents to save even more
Do not set freezer temperature lower than necessary
Replace all incandescent lamps in your home with energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps. These lamps use 20% or less of the electricity the older
Do not open the door unnecessarily. Remove and replace several items at once to reduce cold air loss
incandescent type would use and yield a better quality of light
Make sure that the seal around the door is intact
Take care where dimmers are involved, compact fluorescent lamps can be dimmed
Do not place the refrigerator near the stove or against the an un-insulated wall that faces the sun
Do not install multiple lights (lamps or fixtures) on a single switch
Empty and switch off, or defrost the fridge before taking an extended holiday
Use low energy lamps for exterior lighting, especially if their purpose is for security lighting that is left on all night
Freezers and refrigerators operate most efficiently when filled to the capacity recommended by the manufacturers
Clean your lampshades and fittings regularly, because dirt decreases the amount of light given out
Defrost chest freezers every year. Defrost upright models two to three times a year
A second fridge or freezer should only be operated when necessary
AIR CONDITIONING
MICROWAVE OVENS Clean and inspect filter screens regularly for minimum electricity consumption and eliminate dust and pollen
Where possible, replace with a modern unit. (Greater energy efficiencies are possible due to recent advances in air conditioning technology)
Select and unpack frozen food early in the day and allow to defrost slowly
Turn your heater/cooling system off when the room is unoccupied
Use your microwave oven to cook small to medium quantities of food. It is better to use a conventional oven to cook large portions of meat
Cooking time is an important factor when determining energy efficiency. Follow the manufacturers instructions to ensure that food is cooked correctly
WASHING MACHINE
SMALL APPLIANCES Modern washing machines use less water and cost less to operate
Use only cold settings. Take advantage of special features on your washer that can save money, e.g soak cycles
Save energy with small appliances, toasters, electric grills and skillets, electric coffee pots and bottle warmers, which generally require less energy than a stove
Boil water in an electric kettle, not a saucepan or microwave oven, and boil only the amount you need
TUMBLE DRYER
Empty or replace the vacuum cleaner dust bag frequently
Faulty appliances do not work efficiently and waste energy. Repair or replace them promptly
Bill

On summer days take advantage of good weather and dry your clothes outside
Clean the lint filter on the dryer after each use to maximize the drying efficiency

 SMART TIPS

Dryers equipped with an electronic humidity control, automatically shut off the drying cycle when clothes are dry this saves electricity YOUR HOME
Use correct temperature settings to minimize the amount of electricity used
Clothes dripping with water should never be placed in a tumble dryer If your home is not equipped with a ceiling, consider installing one. Many houses do not have insulation material between the ceiling and the roof, which is
another form of energy inefficiency. Where possible, install insulation to ensure that your home remains cool in summer and warm in winter
IRONING
SWIMMING POOL
Iron low- temperature fabrics first, to reduce warm-up time
Iron large batches of clothing at one time to avoid wasting energy reheating the iron several times. Switch your iron off should you be interrupted whilst ironing Swimming pool pumps can account for a large percentage of a homes electricity consumption
By simply folding clothing after they have dried can reduce ironing, as many items require little or no ironing Reduce the pool pump operating time, to the minimum necessary, for keeping your pool clean
Do not run the pool pump between 07:00 to 10:00 and 18:00 20:00 as this adds to peak demand

HEATERS HOW TO DEAL WITH ELECTRICAL SHOCK VICTIMS

Gas heaters provide the most efficient option for heating and should be used before considering using electric heaters Disconnect the main switch: if this cannot be done, and only if safely possible, disconnect the electricity at the wall plug to which the appliance is connected
Electric blankets use little electricity If the electricity cannot be disconnected, do not touch the victim as you could be electrocuted as well. Rather take hold of their clothing and drag them from the
Close doors and windows when using a heater point of contact. If their clothing is wet, protect yourself by means of dry rubber gloves or dry newspaper or plastic. A wooden/plastic broom handle may also be
Install weather sealing strips on old, worn windows and doors used. Push the victim away from the point of contact with a non-conducting object like a broom or chair
Do not touch any metal objects
Evaluate the victims breathing (ceased/irregular) and check for a pulse. Attempt heart massage/artificial resuscitation to restore spontaneous vital functions.
WATER HEATING GEYSER (Heart/breathing functions)
Treat injuries, which may have been caused by a fall
Installing a geyser blanket and insulating hot water outlet pipes can be very effective in saving electricity. A geyser blanket costs about R300, but it can save you a Even in the event of serious electrical shocks, the after-effects are, as a rule, not serious. However, a person who has lost consciousness must be kept under
lot in electricity bills in the long term observation for at least 24 hours. Even if there are no obvious injuries after a heavy electrical shock, a doctor should be consulted
Invest in a solar geyser. Be sure to select a unit with an SABS mark and have it installed by an accredited installer
The electricity that you save on your household account will ensure that your investment will be paid off in a relatively short time, leaving you with plenty of ELECTRICAL SAFETY AT HOME
years to enjoy the savings
Water heating makes up most of your electricity bill (typically 30% to 40%). Deliberately using less hot water will reduce electricity bills Replace worn and frayed electrical cords immediately
By taking a shower instead of a bath you will use less hot water Keep electric cords away from stoves, as well as hot and abrasive surfaces
Adjust the thermostat of your geyser to the 55C 65C range Electric cords should be routed in such a manner that is unnecessary to walk over them

SMART TIPS

Do not route electrical cords under carpets GENERAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Never disconnect a plug by pulling at the cord. Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position before disconnecting the plug
Never use electrical appliances in the bathroom Always isolate the supply when attempting repairs on electrical equipment: remove the plug and put it next to you. This will prevent someone accidentally
Never connect electrical appliances to light sockets switching it on and causing you injury
Do not connect too many plugs to one socket If you have children in the house, install dummy plugs. These will prevent children from putting their fingers or objects in the socket outlet
Do not touch metal objects like taps, refrigerators or stoves while holding an electrical appliance Never try to put out a fire caused by an electrical fault by throwing water on it while the power is still on. First unplug the appliance or switch off the power at
Do not fill electric kettles while they are connected to the power plug the main switch, and use a dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguisher
Do not operate an electrical mower while touching a garden hose connected to a tap Ensure that a qualified person, who complies with the law and safety requirements, carries out all the electrical repairs or extensions to an existing installation
Always comply with the equipment manufacturers prescribed safety precautions
Follow the golden rule: Always disconnect the power supply at the main switch when electrical appliances are being repaired
All household appliances must be earthed wherever possible
Test your earth leakage unit regularly by depressing the test button
Do not operate the washing machine when you are barefoot. Place a rubber strip in front of the washing machine
Do not overload a wall plug with appliances it can cause overheating and fire
Do not touch electrical appliances with wet hands and do not attempt to switch on a plug while washing dishes
Periodically check all appliances for secure leads and proper earthing rather replace a worn lead than fix it. If fuses are used, ensure that the correct rating is
installed when replacing a blown fuse
Do not pass electrical cords from one room to another through hinges of doors or windows where they can be squashed and damaged

ELECTRICAL SAFETY OUTSIDE THE HOME

Electric lawnmowers should be handled with care. Do not mow the lawn while it is wet. Wear shoes with rubber soles when mowing. If an edge trimmer is
entangled in the blades, do not touch the equipment. Switch off and remove the plug from the socket before working on the machine
Weed eaters should only be used in dry conditions. Do not tug on the lead if it may be stuck
Electrical tools, e.g. drills, extension leads, etc. must be in good condition when used
An extension lead socket outlet must not be placed on a wet surface. Choose the correct size lead with an appropriate length for the job
Do not wash electrical equipment with water. Switch the appliance off, remove the plug and wipe with a dry cloth
