Summary
City Power is sounding the alarm as government departments owe over $270 million in unpaid electricity bills, threatening potential disconnections and exposing a citywide debt crisis totaling $13.3 billion. With hospitals and clinics among the biggest defaulters, officials are demanding immediate action — not just to collect dues, but to set a powerful example for residents and businesses. City Power is stepping up with direct billing, smarter systems, solar registration drives, and EV charging infrastructure — all aimed at securing a stable, future-ready energy grid for Johannesburg.
