Fuel prices remain unchanged in latest EPRA review

In its latest monthly review released on Saturday, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) retained the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene for the period between November 15 and December 14, 2026.

In Nairobi, a litre of Super Petrol will continue retailing at Ksh.226.96, Diesel at Ksh.227.76 and Kerosene at Ksh.219.87.

In Mombasa, Super Petrol will retail at Ksh.223.81 per litre, Diesel at Ksh.224.61 and Kerosene at Ksh.216.71.

The decision comes despite an increase in the landed cost of all three petroleum products between September and October, with Diesel recording the highest rise.

According to EPRA, the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 6.11 per cent from USD 977.55 to USD 1,037.30 per cubic metre, while Diesel rose by 6.73 per cent from USD 1,065.38 to USD 1,137.09.

Kerosene recorded a 0.71 per cent increase, with its landed cost rising from USD 1,098.31 to USD 1,106.11 per cubic metre over the same period.

EPRA said the government had applied Ksh.4.6 billion from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund to stabilise pump prices during the November-December pricing cycle.

The intervention prevented increases that would otherwise have pushed up the price of Super Petrol by Ksh.8.58 per litre, Diesel by Ksh.10.54 and Kerosene by Ksh.1.16.

The prices are inclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) at 8 per cent.

EPRA determines maximum retail prices every month based on the weighted average cost of imported refined petroleum products, among other cost considerations. The latest review was conducted under Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act, 2019, and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022.

The regulator said the pricing regulations are intended to ensure that importation and other prudently incurred costs are recovered while maintaining reasonable prices for consumers.
