From Nairobi's Karen to Kisumu's South West region, scheduled maintenance spans multiple counties starting today
Eight Counties Face Scheduled Power Interruptions
Eight counties across Kenya will experience scheduled power outages this week, with major urban centers including Nairobi, Kisumu, and Nakuru among those affected. According to KPLC schedules, the maintenance work begins today, Sunday, November 23, 2025, and continues through Saturday, November 29, targeting critical infrastructure upgrades across the national grid. Notable areas include Karen and Kilimani in Nairobi, South West Kisumu, and Racecourse area in Eldoret, affecting both residential and commercial zones. The utility company has announced that residents can reach them via their X handle @KenyaPower_Care for real-time updates during the maintenance period. These scheduled interruptions span from Central Kenya to Western regions, demonstrating the extensive scope of infrastructure improvements being undertaken nationwide.
Multi-County Infrastructure Enhancement Program
The scheduled maintenance work represents a significant infrastructure enhancement program affecting Nairobi, Kisumu, Kiambu, Machakos, Uasin Gishu, Nakuru, Isiolo, Muranga, and Nandi counties. Kenya Power's technical teams will focus on upgrading transmission lines, replacing aging equipment, and strengthening grid reliability across these diverse regions. Specific areas receiving attention include Cotton Avenue in Nairobi's Parklands area, Biocorn facilities in Eldoret's Racecourse zone, and Milimani in Nakuru town. Residents in affected areas should prepare by:
Charging electronic devices before outages begin
Securing alternative lighting sources
Planning temperature-sensitive activities around the scheduled times
Informing neighbors who may not be aware of the planned interruptions
The regional impact spans from Isiolo's Oldonyiro area in the north to Machakos' Muthwani zone in the south, highlighting Kenya Power's commitment to nationwide grid modernization. When communities stay informed and help each other prepare for such extensive maintenance work, the entire nation benefits from improved power reliability. By sharing outage information with neighbors across all affected counties, we build stronger, more resilient communities that can better handle both planned and unplanned power interruptions.
