Power supply has been restored to several parts of Kenya after the East African nation experienced nationwide blackout on Sunday night, energynewsafrica.com can report.

The blackout which occurred around 20:00 local time (17:00 GMT) sets Kenyans to talk with many demanding for answers from the power distribution company Kenya power.

Although, the cause of the outage is not yet known, Kenya power said it suspects faults in the system as the possible cause.

In a statement issued at about 2:10am Monday, Kenya Power said it has been able to restore power to the whole of Mt Kenya, South Nyanza, Western, Central Rift, North Rift, North East, and most parts of Nairobi.

It added that restoration for Coast region and sections of Nairobi is ongoing.

“We thank our customers for their patience and assure them that we are working round the clock to restore normalcy to the remaining areas as soon as possible,” Kenya power stated.

Kenya Power and Transport Minister Kipchumba Murkomen has borne the brunt of the criticism.

“Kenya Power should offer financial compensation for loss of electricity which leads to loss of income, food spoiling, and loss of time. It’s time Kenya Power became responsible for the power outages,” one Kenyan said on X.

The blackout affected the main airport, the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

The outage affected two of the busiest JKIA terminals, with the airports authority explaining that the back-up generators serving those terminals “failed to immediately activate”.

Transport Minister Kipchumba Murkomen said that the outage may have been an act of sabotage.

“Considering the frequency of the power disruption, and taking into account the fact that JKIA is a facility of strategic national importance, we are making a formal request to the National Police Service to investigate possible acts of sabotage and coverup,” he posted on X.

Kenya has suffered several national power outages in recent months, including on 11 November, 25 August, 4 March and in November and December last year.
