Electricity restored in Kenya after hours of nationwide power outage

Authorities of Kenya Power said that electricity has been restored to some parts of the country affected by a nationwide blackout on Saturday and added that they are working on bringing it back to the remaining areas, the DW news reported.

“Initial reports indicate that the outage was caused by a fault that occurred on the Suswa-Loyangalani high-voltage power transmission line,” the power utility said in a statement.

The country’s sole electricity distributor said power was restored to Eldoret, Kisumu and Nakuru and the electricity had also returned to at least one part of the capital Nairobi according to reports.
