Kenyan motorists will pay slightly less for fuel after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced a reduction in the maximum retail petroleum prices for the period running from 15th June 2026 to 14th July 2026.

In its latest monthly review, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority said the adjustment has been made in line with provisions of the Petroleum Act, 2019 and supporting legal notices governing fuel pricing in the country.

According to the announcement, the price of Super Petrol and Diesel has decreased, while the cost of Kerosene remains unchanged for the review period.

EPRA stated that Super Petrol will reduce by KSh 0.22 per litre, while Diesel will record a more significant drop of KSh 10.00 per litre. Kerosene prices, however, will remain stable despite fluctuations in global oil market trends.

The regulator explained that the changes reflect movements in the average landed cost of imported petroleum products, which are influenced by global crude oil prices, exchange rates, and shipping costs.

During the period under review, the landed cost of Super Petrol decreased slightly by 0.56%, falling from US$906.23 per cubic metre in April 2026 to US$901.16 in May 2026.

Diesel recorded a marginal increase in landed cost of 0.21%, moving from US$1291.98 to US$1294.71 per cubic metre, while Kerosene saw a decline of 0.33%, from US$1332.73 to US$1328.36 per cubic metre over the same period.

EPRA noted that the Government will continue cushioning consumers through the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) fund, which will be used to subsidize the cost of Diesel and Kerosene, with approximately KSh 10 billion allocated for the intervention during the cycle.

The authority further emphasized that the retail prices announced are inclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT), excise duty adjustments, and other statutory charges as provided under Kenyan tax laws.

Energy analysts say the latest reduction in fuel prices may offer modest relief to households and transport operators who have been grappling with fluctuating fuel costs in recent months.

However, they caution that global oil market volatility and exchange rate pressures could continue to influence future price adjustments.

The revised prices will apply across all pump stations in Kenya for the one-month period until the next review cycle in July 2026.

Motorists have been advised to confirm updated pump prices from official stations and remain alert to any changes issued by EPRA.
