Heads up, residents of Machakos, Vihiga, Migori, Kilifi, Murang’a, and Laikipia! Kenya Power has announced planned power interruptions on Wednesday, December 13th, to ensure the long-term reliability of the national grid.

Don’t panic, these cuts are part of routine maintenance, a crucial step in keeping the lights on across Kenya. But knowing your local schedule is key, so here’s a quick breakdown:

Machakos: Konza City, AP Camp, Highway Grill, Universal Briquettes, and surrounding areas.

Vihiga: Kima Market, Coptic Hospital, Ebusiralo, and other locations.

This news comes after recent nationwide blackouts, prompting the Ministry of Energy to take action. Energy CS Davis Chirchir explained the outages by high demand tripping the western supply line.

To avoid future disruptions, Kenya Power’s proactive approach includes:

• Scheduled maintenance: These planned cuts allow for targeted repairs and upgrades, minimizing future disruptions.
• Strategic load shedding: This temporary reduction in power to specific areas helps prevent system overload and protect the grid.

These initiatives address the root cause of many outages – underinvestment in power generation and transmission infrastructure. By prioritizing maintenance and strategic load shedding, Kenya Power aims to build a more resilient and efficient power grid for everyone.

A sudden and widespread power outage plunged several parts of Kenya into darkness on Sunday evening, causing widespread inconvenience and frustration. The blackout, which began around 8 PM, affected areas including Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Bomet, Tana River, Nanyuki, Kakamega, Lamu, Murang’a, Nakuru, Makueni, Tharaka-Nithi, and Machakos Junction.

The outage extended to critical infrastructure, including the Kenya Power offices in Kisumu and Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) terminals, further amplifying the disruption.

Adding to the frustration, Kenya Power remained silent for over an hour, leaving residents and businesses in the dark both literally and figuratively. This lack of communication sparked outrage on social media, with many demanding answers and updates.

While Kenya Power had announced planned outages in three counties for Saturday, December 9th, from 9 AM to 5 PM, the nationwide blackout took many by surprise.

Finally, over an hour after the outage began, Kenya Power issued a brief statement acknowledging the problem and attributing it to a suspected fault affecting the power system. They assured customers that they were working to restore electricity and would provide updates soon.

As businesses and households struggle with the unexpected disruption, the incident highlights the vulnerability of Kenya’s power infrastructure. It also underscores the need for improved communication and transparency from Kenya Power during such events to better manage public expectations and minimize frustration.

Kenya Power has announced scheduled power outages in specific areas of four counties today, December 6, 2023. The interruptions are part of routine maintenance activities to enhance the power supply infrastructure.
