Scheduled maintenance
Power supply was interrupted in parts of Nairobi and Kirinyaga counties on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, to carry out essential maintenance works.
The company has, over time, said the outages are part of efforts to upgrade infrastructure, replace ageing components, and improve overall system stability.
In Nairobi, the affected areas included parts of Langata. Customers in NHC Langata, Southlands Estate, Langata Hospital, Akiba Estate, Civil Servants Langata, Rubia Estate, Uhuru Gardens, and adjacent areas experienced the planned interruptions.

Kenya Power maintenance works are part of broader infrastructure upgrades that have been ongoing in Nairobi and other urban centres to support growing electricity demand and reduce cases of voltage fluctuations and transformer failures.
