The rationing will be between 6.40 PM and 9.30 PM, and will mostly be confined to industrial areas.
The last time such rationing was effected was in the 1990s, during which blackouts were frequent due to heavy reliance on the hydro-power sources for electricity.
Kenya Power managing director, Mr Joseph Njoroge said the rationing had become necessary due to shortfall of between 70 MW and 90 MW.
The rationing begins on Wednesday.
More coming...
