Kenya Power restored supply by 2 a.m. and blamed a grid “technical disturbance” but has not named the fault that caused it. Kenya Power said “power supply was fully restored to all affected customers by 2:00am” on Thursday. Kenya Power blamed a fault at a Turkana wind facility; the plant blamed the grid. Kenyans responded largely with memes; the economic tally has not been published, and Kenya Power has not indicated whether it will be.
