Spokesperson Isaac Mangena says close to 50-billion rand is needed immediately for maintenance and upgrades.
Mangena says they are doing their best to fix outages following major storms and flooding that affected different parts of Joburg.
He says they have resolved about 2000 reported faults so far.
Several areas in Johannesburg still remain without power, with Randburg one of the worst affected.
