The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has maintained fuel pump prices across Kenya for the November-December 2026 pricing cycle, despite rising international petroleum import costs.
EPRA in their latest monthly review has announced that the price of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will stay constant from November 15, 2026 to December 14, 2026 bringing some comfort to motorists, households, and businesses.
The regulator, citing a KSh4. 6 billion contribution to the Petroleum Development Levy Fund by the government, which has used the windfall to cushion pump prices from the increased cost of crude at the global markets.
In the absence of the subsidy, Super Petrol would have gone up by KSh8. 58 per litre Diesel by KSh10. 54 and Kerosene by KSh1. 16.
EPRA said the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 6. 11 per cent, from US$977. 55 to US$1,037. 30 per cubic metre from September 2026 to October 2026.
Diesel was also 6. 73 per cent higher (US$ 1,137. 09, up from US$ 1,065. 38) and Kerosene 0. 71 per cent (US$ 1,106. 11, up from US$ 1,098. 31).
All prices inclusive of 8 per cent VAT in line with the government policy to shield consumers from high international prices of petroleum.
Kenya totally depends on imports of refined petroleum products because of this local pump prices are expected to track movements in the international market and dollar exchange rates.
EPRA noted that petroleum pricing policies intend that the costs of importation and other prudently incurred expenses shall be recovered and, at the same time, prevent unreasonable retail prices.
