Why the Maintenance Matters
The planned maintenance is part of KPLC’s regular upgrades, which help prevent unexpected blackouts, improve electricity supply, and support future power demand.
Such exercises ensure that households, businesses, schools, and hospitals have more reliable power in the long run.
Electricity Billing Concerns
Meanwhile, separate from the planned outage, KPLC has come under sharp criticism from customers over rising and, in some cases, questionable electricity bills.
Recently, a customer identified as Muganda Clay sparked online discussions after claiming he was billed KSh 224,117 for his two-bedroom house in August 2025. Clay alleged that this was not the first time such an issue occurred.
According to him, he had earlier reported a similar unexplained spike in April 2025, when he received a bill of over KSh 20,000, but the matter was never resolved.
He accused the company of continuously sending inflated bills each month despite his complaints, saying the figures were far above his normal consumption. His case has drawn sympathy and anger from other Kenyans, with many calling on KPLC to urgently address the matter and ensure transparency in billing.
