Kenya Power Managing Director Eng. Dr. Joseph Siror has detailed how fluctuations in electricity supply and demand can destabilize the national grid, leading to power outages.

• Grid stability relies on a balance between electricity generation and demand, with voltage and frequency as key monitoring parameters.
• Kenya Power's Managing Director explained that outages can be automatic safety measures to protect the system.
• Sudden drops or surges in generation, like those caused by solar power fluctuations, can lead to frequency dips or spikes, forcing the grid to disconnect loads to maintain balance.
