On the evening of July 29, a widespread power outage plunged several regions of Kenya into darkness, affecting millions of residents and businesses.
The blackout was first reported shortly after 8:30 pm, with simultaneous power loss reported in Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, Mombasa, and other urban centers. Despite the extensive disruption, some areas around the Mt. Kenya region maintained electricity, indicating the outage did not cover the entire national grid.
Social media platforms quickly filled with posts from affected Kenyans expressing frustration and seeking information about the cause and expected duration of the blackout.
As of the latest update, the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has not released an official explanation or timeline for restoring power.
