Kenya Power has announced an eight-hour electricity blackout in parts of Nairobi on Thursday, November 12, 2026, following a planned maintenance exercise.
The interruption is expected to affect several roads, residential estates, businesses and institutions in the Eastleigh area, leaving customers without electricity for most of the working day.
According to a notice issued on Wednesday evening, November 11, the power interruption will begin at 9 am and end at 5 pm.
Among the areas listed for the scheduled maintenance are Hombe Road, Quarry Road and Kariokor Flats.
Other affected locations include Nairobi Technical New Campus, Ushirika Estates, Jam Street and Don Bosco, together with customers in neighbouring areas.
The announcement means residents and business owners in the affected locations will have to make alternative arrangements before the electricity supply is interrupted.
Businesses that depend on electricity for daily operations could experience disruptions, while households may also be affected by the temporary loss of power.
Kenya Power has urged customers to take note of the scheduled interruption and prepare accordingly.
The company regularly announces planned power interruptions to allow engineers to carry out maintenance work aimed at improving electricity supply and maintaining the distribution network.
The latest notice comes barely two days after another eight-hour planned blackout affected parts of Nairobi around Moi Air Base Staff Quarters on Tuesday, November 10.
That earlier interruption also ran from 9 am to 5 pm.
With another maintenance exercise scheduled for Thursday, affected customers have been advised to plan their activities around the announced hours.
Residents in the listed areas should charge their phones, prepare alternative lighting and complete electricity-dependent activities before 9 am.
The electricity supply is expected to be restored at 5 pm, although customers should remain prepared for possible changes during the maintenance exercise.
