Power rationing
Just a few weeks ago, President William Ruto admitted that Kenya has already entered a period of daily power rationing, especially between 5 pm and 10 pm, to keep the national grid stable.
“Today in Kenya, between 5:00 pm and 10:00 pm, we have to do load shedding. We have to shut off some areas to power other areas because our energy is insufficient,” the president said.
Ruto noted that Kenya needs at least Ksh1.2 trillion to raise power production to levels that can support rapid industrial growth, adding that the country must work toward producing at least 10,000 megawatts to sustain domestic and manufacturing needs.
Kenya Power has supported the president’s remarks, saying the grid has recently been overwhelmed after sunset when solar power drops and wind production reduces.
The utility company has explained that this drop in supply, combined with rising demand, has led to scheduled rationing across different parts of the country.
