“Power has now been restored in most areas including most Coast Region, West Kenya, North and South Rift and Nairobi South,” Kenya Power tweeted at 2.35pm. Kenya power said that the partial outage was caused by a fault at Gitaru hydro station at 11.30am and it was working to get operations back to normal. The electricity distributor, however, said that restoration work for parts of Nairobi, Mt. This is not the first time the country is experiencing a countrywide power outage; a similar situation occurred last year and businesses that did not have a backup plan were left counting losses. Kenya and Coast was still ongoing.
