Wednesday, December 20, 2023 -Government has announced system changes at the Kenyatta International Airport JKIA to curb frequent power blackouts.
In a statement he released after meeting with Kenya Airports Authority KAA officials on Tuesday December 19, Roads and Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen detailed that a logic-based system had been installed for the generators to enable them to power on immediately whenever there is power interferences.
The CS said, this new system dubbed logic-based system replaces the time-based technology at the airport.
“KAA leadership has assured me that issues of blackouts at JKIA are now a thing of the past after they replaced the time-based system with a logic-based system that will allow a seamless transition to backup power during blackouts.
“Manual interventions have also been put in place, faulty control systems rectified, cabling systems expanded, and inverters installed to avert blackouts at the airport by allowing a 15-second transition time,” partly read the statement as seen by Kenyawide.com.
Murkomen’s announcement came after stakeholders condemned him for failing to address the challenges at the Kenya’s largest airport, JKIA.
The country has, within this year alone, witnessed nationwide blackouts on three occasions.
Mr. Murkomen, in earlier statements, would blame past regimes for the mess.
Sentiments shared by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua who claimed Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration should be blamed for intalling substandard machines at the airport.
