The Kilifi interruption is also scheduled to take place between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
The scheduled interruptions mean that households, businesses, institutions and other electricity consumers in the affected neighbourhoods may need to make alternative arrangements during the maintenance period.
Residents are particularly encouraged to plan ahead for activities that depend on electricity, including business operations, food storage, online work and the use of electronic equipment.
Kenya Power regularly publishes planned maintenance notices to inform customers about areas expected to experience temporary electricity interruptions.
Customers in the listed locations are advised to take note of the scheduled dates and times and make the necessary preparations ahead of Thursday's maintenance exercise.
