Kenya Power said on Monday a technical fault at one of its substations in the north of the capital has caused an electricity outage that affected Nairobi, Mount Kenya and Coast regions.
Kenya Power said it had since restored supply to Nairobi and Mount Kenya regions.
"We are now in the process of normalising supplies to Coast Region," Daniel Tare, Kenya Power's general manager for Network Management, said in a statement.
Industrial consumers in Nairobi and the neighbouring town of Thika, both affected by the outage, generate 60 percent of Kenya Power's revenues.
Many firms in Kenya run stand-by generators to address frequent power interruptions, adding to their costs. Businesses say unreliable power supplies are a major obstacle to investment.
