Why the Maintenance Is Necessary
Kenya Power says the scheduled interruptions are necessary to facilitate system upgrades, network repairs and line maintenance aimed at improving reliability and reducing unplanned blackouts.
The utility company has advised customers to treat all power lines as live during the maintenance period and to unplug sensitive electrical appliances to prevent damage when electricity supply is restored.
Power is expected to be reinstated earlier than the stated time where work is completed ahead of schedule.
