EPRA Announces July-August Fuel Prices, Offers Relief To Kenyans
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has stated that fuel prices in Kenya will remain stable from July 15, 2026 to August 14, 2026, providing temporary respite to motorists and businesses.
Following the review, super fuel will cost Ksh214.03 per litre in Nairobi, diesel Ksh222.86 per litre, and kerosene Ksh191.38 per litre.
“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged,” EPRA said in a statement.
The regulator ascribed the consistent prices to ongoing government involvement to safeguard consumers from global price shocks.
To guarantee that pump prices remain stable, the government extended the 8% VAT on petroleum products for an additional three months, until October 2026.
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 July 2026 to 14th August 2026.

The government also said it had utilised Ksh945 million from the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) Fund to ensure pump price stability.
During the period under review, the average landed cost of super petrol fell by 21 per cent to Ksh115,070 per cubic metre in June, down from about Ksh146,250 per cubic metre in May.
The landed cost of diesel also dropped by 19.8 per cent to Ksh127,700 per cubic metre, compared to about Ksh143,800 per cubic metre in the previous month.
Similarly, the average landed cost of kerosene declined by 11.7 per cent to Ksh133,370 per cubic metre, down from about Ksh150,990 per cubic metre in May.
The regulator further added that the average exchange rate used in the latest pricing cycle stood at Ksh129.72 to the US dollar, remaining relatively stable compared to previous months.
Under the new pricing schedule, motorists in Mombasa will pay Ksh210.87 for super petrol, diesel at Ksh219.58 and kerosene at Ksh188.09 per litre.
