Power supply was restored in Kenya after a widespread blackout, Kenya Power and Lighting Company said in a statement on Wednesday.

"We are pleased to report that power supply has been restored to all the affected areas, following a widespread outage," the statement read.

A major blackout reported by Kenya Power at 1:28 am on Wednesday affected most of Kenya and lasted for about six hours before power was restored, with the cause yet undetermined.

"Network data show a major reduction in internet connectivity across much of Kenya corresponding to a widespread power outage reported by Kenya Power; metrics indicate neighboring Tanzania has also been impacted," an independent global internet monitor, NetBlocks, reported on X.
