Kenyans are experiencing an average of nine hours of electricity outages per month, according to a report by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA).
The bi-annual statistics report for the financial year 2024/2025 reveals that, on average, electricity consumers faced power outages lasting over nine hours each month between July and December 2024.
This stark finding, quantified by the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), indicates a considerable decline in the consistency of power provision across the nation.
SAIDI, a key measure of electricity reliability, tallies the total duration of all power interruptions experienced by the average customer during a specified period.
