Kenya Power has announced planned power interruptions in six counties on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, including parts of Ngong Road and Kibera in Nairobi County.

The Nairobi interruptions are scheduled to run from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. in the affected sections of Ngong Road and Kibera. Kenya Power listed the two Nairobi areas among locations where supply will be interrupted as part of routine network maintenance work.

The other counties named in the announcement are Trans Nzoia, Meru, Nyeri, Kwale and Mombasa. The announcement did not provide further location details for the affected areas in those counties in the supplied information.

The scheduled interruptions apply on September 1, 2026, and are planned rather than reported as unplanned outages. For Nairobi residents, the stated window is eight hours, from 9.00 a.m. until 5.00 p.m.

Kenya Power said the work covers the listed regions and is routine network maintenance. The company’s announcement identifies Nairobi County, Trans Nzoia, Meru, Nyeri, Kwale and Mombasa as the six counties included in the schedule.

Residents and businesses in the named parts of Ngong Road and Kibera should note the scheduled Nairobi window when planning activities that depend on electricity. The supplied announcement does not state whether the work will finish earlier than scheduled or whether additional areas will be affected.
