Kenya Power says the work is needed to keep the network safe and reliable. During the outage window, residents and businesses are advised to switch off sensitive appliances such as fridges, televisions, and computers to avoid damage when power returns.
People are also encouraged to plan ahead for daytime darkness, especially where water pumps, schools, and markets rely on electricity.

The utility usually restores supply as soon as the work is done, but times may shift slightly depending on progress on the ground.
