Electricity restored in Kenya after hours of nationwide power outage

Kenya Power officials said that certain portions of the nation impacted by a statewide blackout on Saturday now have energy, and they added that they are trying to restore it to the other places. The Suswa-Loyangalani high-voltage power transmission line had a malfunction, according to preliminary reports, the power company stated in a statement. Eldoret, Kisumu, and Nakuru have power again, according to reports from the nation's single energy distributor, and at least a portion of Nairobi, the capital, has power again as well. The Kenya Electricity Generating Company is where the corporation purchases the majority of its energy. Although major blackouts are not uncommon in the nation with the largest economy in East Africa, they often do not touch the 53 million people who live there. During that month, Kenya Electricity filed sabotage and negligence charges against three top officers. Similar to this, Kenya had a nationwide blackout in the middle of February. The impacted areas endured 8-hour power disruptions as a result of scheduled normal network maintenance, according to the power distributor. Nairobi's South BS/Centre, Mariakani Estate, Kenol, Elimu Sacco, Portion of the Golden Gate, Balozi Estate, Mater Hospital, Highway Secondary School, KIMC, and South B Police Station were among the places impacted by the scheduled routine network repair. In addition, portions of Ruaka between Gacharage and Ndenderu Junction, National Oil Ndenderu,Banana, Shell Ndenderu, and surrounding places.
