Who is affected today, Friday 16 October 2026
Kenya Power has scheduled power interruptions in 3 counties today, Friday 16 October 2026: Kisumu, Meru and Nairobi. The notice lists 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. for all three.
Kisumu: Muhoroni/Koru. Area alerts also name Muhoroni and Agrochemicals.
Meru: Igoji East and Mikinduri. Area alerts also name Mikumbune and Ntemwene.

If you are searching for a power outage in Nairobi today, the data shows only Pangani. If you are in Kisumu, the affected places are around Muhoroni.
Check your exact times and the reason for the work
The schedule comes from the Kenya Power notice "Special Power Supply Interruption Notice - 16.10.2026". Some area alerts give slightly different hours from the general 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. window:
Muhoroni and Agrochemicals (Kisumu): 11:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
Mikumbune and Ntemwene (Meru): 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
Pangani (Nairobi): 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
The data does not state why the interruptions are planned, so we will not guess. If your area falls in one of these places, plan for the full 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. window. Power may return earlier or later depending on how the work goes.
How to prepare for today's planned power cut
A few simple steps can make the day easier if you are in one of the affected areas:
Charge your phone, power bank and any lights before the outage starts.
Save and back up any work on your computer, especially if you work from home in Pangani.
Switch off sensitive appliances at the socket so they are not damaged when power returns.
Keep food in the fridge closed as much as possible.
Ask a neighbour in Muhoroni, Igoji East, Mikinduri or Pangani whether they got the same notice.
