Know Before The Lights Go Out, In Your Own Estate

KPLC lists planned power interruptions in a weekly PDF. We read every notice and email you when a place you watch is on it.

About us

This is how the notices reach you

KPLC publishes one PDF for the whole country. We turn it into a short email about the places that you chose.

Every notice, read for you

We download each new KPLC PDF and split it into regions, areas, dates, hours and named places.

Checked every 15 minutes

Notices usually appear on Thursday, but often on Friday or later. The day does not matter to us.

One email per notice

It lists each of your places that matched. A week with no match sends no email at all.

Up to five places

Your estate, your office, a parent's home. Names are matched as KPLC writes them, apostrophes included.

A calendar feed

Subscribe once, and your matched interruptions appear in the calendar you already use.

No password to remember

You sign in with a six-character code that we send to your email.

What arrives

Only the places you watch, not the whole PDF

A single KPLC notice can list hundreds of places across the country. Your email names the places you watch that appear in it.

The email links to the KPLC notice, which stays the official source for the date and the hours.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about what ProjectKE does and does not do.

Is ProjectKE part of Kenya Power?

No. ProjectKE is an independent service. It reads the notices that KPLC publishes on kplc.co.ke, and the notice stays the official source.

Does it cover unplanned outages?

No. It covers only the planned maintenance that KPLC announces in advance. For a fault, contact KPLC directly.

What should I type as a place?

A name that would appear in the notice: your estate, the nearest market or school, or your building. Short names match more often than long ones.

Why do I get a code and not a password?

The code proves that the email address is yours. You use a new code each time you sign in, so there is no password to forget.
