As we approach the scheduled outages, Nijulishe recommends the following preparations: 1. Charge all essential devices before the outage begins. 2. Businesses should consider alternative power sources for critical operations. 3. Keep refrigerators closed to maintain temperature. 4. Unplug sensitive electronics to protect from potential surges when power is restored. 5. Have emergency lighting solutions ready, such as flashlights or solar-powered lamps. Most importantly, stay informed about outage durations and any changes to the schedule.

KPLC's current maintenance efforts align with Kenya's broader goals for sustainable energy development. By improving grid efficiency, these works contribute to reducing energy losses and, consequently, lowering the carbon footprint of power distribution. The upgrades in areas like Kiambu's Juja and Muguga regions on May 21 may enable better integration of renewable energy sources into the grid. This progress supports Kenya's vision for a greener energy future, potentially benefiting eco-tourism initiatives in affected areas like Nakuru.
