Kenya Power will cut electricity on Wednesday across five counties. Nairobi residents in Ngumba Estate face outages from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Kajiado County loses power from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., affecting the Matasia area, Kajiado Referral Hospital, Masai Polytechnic, County Government offices, and nearby customers.
Elgeyo Marakwet County will see interruptions at Chepsirei and Kapkayo areas from 10 am to 5 pm. Western Kenya's Kakamega County will have Matungu Market without electricity from 9 am to 5 pm. Nyeri County outages will hit Rititi and Gatunganga areas from 9 am to 5 pm, impacting markets, schools, water pumps, and cell towers.
The company performs these scheduled interruptions for network maintenance and upgrades. Engineers need to work on the power grid to improve service reliability. Road construction sometimes requires line replacements with advance notice to customers. Unplanned outages happen from equipment failures, vandalism, or weather damage. Animals like elephants occasionally harm power infrastructure as well.
