Hi All, There seems to be a power outage affecting many parts of Nairobi. Anyone have any idea of what the problem is? KPLC is unreachable as usual.

Dear customer, A System breakdown has caused major power blackout affecting Nairobi, Mount Kenya and Coast Regions. Restoration efforts are ongoing.

I'm deep down in Mountain Lodge in Nyeri and we are experiencing power outage. KLPC has sent me a text saying that there is a power outage affects parts of Nairobi, Mount Kenya and Coast Region, adding that the engineers are working at restoring the power On 29 April 2014 19:28, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:

What lessons, if any, did Kenya Power learn after the trip at Ndenderu substation? Its Juja substation that's affected this time round. I can imagine the panic-mode at telcos. How long before fuel runs out data centers, base station sites, etc. ./bernard On Apr 29, 2014 7:32 PM, "Solomon Mbũrũ Kamau" <solo.mburu@gmail.com> wrote:

I noticed that you could hardly notice that there was a black out in the CBD, most buildings upwards of Moi Avenue were fully lit. The Half a billion coloured LED lights and blinders (traffic lights and "cameras") were off. Mr. Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi really left a strong legacy of back up generators behind. It's sad that more than 10 years after Moi, we still need generators. On Tuesday, 29 April 2014, <job.moenga@gmail.com> wrote:
