How to prevent frustrations after a blackout
Planned power outages can disrupt normal routines, especially for those working from home or running small businesses.
To minimise inconvenience, residents are encouraged to charge phones, laptops, and power banks in advance.
Investing in rechargeable emergency bulbs that light up automatically when power goes off can also be helpful.
Households may consider solar-powered lamps as an alternative to traditional lighting.
For businesses, having a backup generator or inverter can prevent losses during scheduled outages.
It is also advisable to unplug sensitive electrical appliances to protect them from possible power surges once electricity is restored.
Kenya Power has encouraged customers in the affected areas to remain patient as maintenance teams work to complete the upgrades within the scheduled time.
