BREAKING NEWS: EPRA Reduces Fuel Prices​​

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced a small reduction in fuel prices in its latest monthly review. 

The changes will take effect from midnight on Monday, September 15, 2025.

According to EPRA, the pump price for Super Petrol has decreased by Ksh0.79 per litre, Diesel by Ksh0.11, and Kerosene by Ksh0.80. 

In Nairobi, motorists can expect to pay Ksh184.52 for Super Petrol, Ksh171.47 for Diesel, and Ksh154.78 for Kerosene.

“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th September 2025 to 14th October 2025,” EPRA stated in its official notice. 

This marks the second consecutive month of slight decreases at the pumps. In the previous review covering August to September, Super Petrol had already seen a reduction of Ksh1.00 per litre.

EPRA explained that the new prices are inclusive of a 16% Value-Added Tax, as required by the Finance Act 2023 and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024.

The authority’s regular reviews are aimed at reflecting changes in global oil prices, exchange rates, and other market factors, ensuring consumers pay fair prices while maintaining stability in the energy sector.

The announcement comes at a time when Kenyan motorists have faced rising living costs and concerns over transportation expenses. While the reductions are modest, they provide some relief to drivers and businesses that rely heavily on fuel.

Consumers are advised to check prices at local service stations before refueling, as slight variations may occur depending on location and distribution costs.

EPRA has also reminded the public to report any instances of overcharging to ensure compliance with the new rates.

Analysts say that while the decreases are small, continued monitoring of global fuel trends could lead to further reductions or increases in the coming months.

They also noted that responsible use of fuel and investment in public transport can help mitigate the impact of fluctuating prices on households and businesses.
