EPRA Announces June-July Fuel Prices As Diesel Drops
Motorists and businesses would benefit significantly after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) reduced the price of diesel by Sh10 per litre in its latest monthly fuel review.
EPRA said on Sunday that the maximum retail price of fuel will reduce by Sh10 per litre between June 15 and July 14, 2026.
In Nairobi, Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene are now priced at Sh214.03, Sh222.86, and Sh191.38, respectively, as of midnight for the next 30 days.
The regulator also reduced the price of super petrol by Sh0.22 per liter, however, kerosene prices remained steady.
EPRA said the government will continue cushioning consumers through the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) Fund.
In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, has calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th June 2026 to 14th July 2026.

Additionally, they will utilise approximately Sh10 billion to subsidise diesel and kerosene prices during the review period.
The regulator attributed the adjustments to changes in the average landed cost of imported fuel products.
The landed cost of super petrol declined by 0.56 per cent from US$906.23 per cubic metre in April to US$901.16 in May.
However, the landed cost of diesel increased slightly by 0.21 per cent from US$1,291.98 to US$1,294.71 per cubic metre, while kerosene fell by 0.33 per cent from US$1,332.73 to US$1,328.36 per cubic metre.
EPRA noted that the new prices are inclusive of taxes and levies as provided for under existing laws and regulations.
The latest review is expected to be welcomed by transport operators, manufacturers and households, with diesel remaining a key fuel for public transport, freight movement and industrial operations.

In May, President William Ruto had announced that diesel prices would drop by a further Sh10 per litre in the June-July fuel price review, signalling fresh government intervention to cushion consumers from the effects of rising global oil prices.
Ruto said the reduction forms part of a broader strategy to stabilise fuel prices and ease pressure on households, transport operators and businesses grappling with rising production and transport costs.
The President said the government had already spent Sh15.72 billion in fuel stabilisation measures in the May-June cycle after the Iran crisis triggered turbulence in global oil markets, pushing up the cost of crude oil, freight, insurance and logistics worldwide.
“These interventions have protected millions of Kenyans from even more severe economic hardships,” Ruto said.
“I have further directed that in the next pricing cycle, we are going to reduce the price of diesel by a further Sh10 to help stabilise pump prices and provide additional relief to consumers.”
The President said the decision was arrived at following lengthy consultations with leaders from the transport sector.
