What Caused This Weekend's Power Blackout In Kenya?

Kenya Power, the country's sole electricity distributor, said it had restored electricity to some parts of the country affected by a nationwide blackout on Saturday, March 4, 2023, and was working on bringing it back to remaining areas, Deutsche Welle reports. The power utility said in a statement that indications are that the outage was caused by a fault that occurred on the Suswa-Loyangalani high-voltage power transmission line.

Power has been restored to Eldoret, Kisumu and Nakuru and the electricity also returned to at least one part of the capital Nairobi, according to reports.
