When a railway line was constructed from Genniston to Springs, Brakpan became one of the stations along the route.

Redwing Technologies - Articles Due to an existing tariff metering agreement between Brakpan, Eskom and a major mining operation in the area, this project had to be carried out and completed in parallel, although independently, with a similar PFC project for the mining operation. After successful commissioning of the 33 kV PFC in April 1999, Brakpan changed over to the Nightsave kVA demand tariff in order to realise projected savings of R500 000 in the present financial year, increasing to R2 300 000 in the 2000/2001 financial year. Now that Brakpan have optimised their electricity costs on the Eskom Standard tariff structure, Redwing Technologies are presently investigating the feasibility of further changing the Brakpan tariff to the time-of-use Megaflex tariff, in order to further maximise savings in monthly electricity revenue achieved by the Council. www.redwingtech.co.za /article3.html   (605 words)
