Kenya Power

Kenya Power has issued a public notice announcing planned electricity interruptions on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, to facilitate routine network maintenance in parts of Kajiado and Kiambu counties.

The utility company said the scheduled outage is part of ongoing efforts to enhance power reliability and ensure a more stable electricity supply for customers ahead of the festive season.

According to the notice, sections of Kajiado County, particularly in the Amboseli–Isara region, will experience an outage from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Areas to be affected include Jesbriquet, Sopa Lodge, Ngong Veg, AA Lodge, Mada Hotel, Kibo Safari, Ngong Narok Primary School, Omra, Mbirikani, parts of Simba Cement, and surrounding customers. The company noted that the maintenance works will involve upgrading aging infrastructure and clearing vegetation along the power lines to reduce unplanned outages.

In Kiambu County, a separate maintenance schedule will run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., targeting parts of the Kenyatta University (KU) area, including China Square, National Oil, KU Library, KU Morgue, KU Administration Block, and nearby customers. Kenya Power said the maintenance exercise is necessary to support the region’s rapid power demand growth and to improve supply efficiency within key commercial and educational zones.

Kenya Power advised customers in the affected regions to make necessary arrangements and urged them to treat all lines as live during the maintenance period. The company further emphasized its commitment to minimizing disruptions and completing the work within the scheduled timeframe.

“We regret any inconvenience caused and appreciate our customers’ understanding as we work to strengthen the grid,” the utility said in the notice.

Power interruptions remain a key part of Kenya Power’s preventive maintenance strategy as the company seeks to curb frequent outages, enhance operational safety, and support stable access to electricity for homes, institutions, and businesses across the country.
