Nairobi, Kenya – 6th September 2024: Kenya Power has issued a customer alert regarding a partial power outage affecting several parts of the country. The outage, which was announced in a statement issued at 9:20 a.m. on Friday, excludes sections of the North Rift and Western regions.
The utility company, which is responsible for electricity distribution across the country, has apologized to its customers for the inconvenience caused by the interruption of power supply. The company has assured the public that their engineers are working tirelessly to restore power as swiftly as possible.
Kenya Power has stated that updates will be provided continuously as restoration efforts progress. The company has acknowledged the disruption caused to households and businesses alike but has emphasized that its engineers are dedicated to resolving the issue as soon as possible. Customers are being urged to exercise patience as work is carried out.
As part of the communication, Kenya Power has offered several online platforms for customers to stay informed about the situation. The company’s website, along with its official Twitter and Facebook pages, will provide real-time updates as work progresses. Customers have been encouraged to visit these platforms for timely information.
While the full extent of the power outage has yet to be disclosed, this development has disrupted daily life in several affected regions, with businesses, schools, and healthcare facilities all being impacted. Power outages have become a frequent occurrence in recent years, often caused by aging infrastructure, maintenance issues, or the demands placed on the grid by growing urban populations.
However, the exclusion of the North Rift and Western regions from this outage suggests that power demand and infrastructure issues may be concentrated in other areas. These outages not only disrupt daily life but also highlight the challenges faced by Kenya’s energy sector in meeting the demands of its citizens.
Kenya Power has pledged to provide more information as soon as it becomes available. Customers are encouraged to follow the company’s social media channels and visit its official website for ongoing updates.
