The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has identified 23 petrol stations across the country that were found selling adulterated fuel during a recent nationwide audit.

• Out of 10,598 fuel samples collected from 2,305 outlets, 99% were compliant, but 23 stations failed inspection.
• EPRA conducted tests in counties including Nakuru, Uasin Gishu, Kisumu, Machakos, Makueni, Bungoma, Vihiga, Nyandarua, Kwale, Kilifi, Meru, and Mombasa.
• The regulator uses fuel marking and mobile laboratories with XRF analysers to detect adulteration, a persistent issue in Kenya's petroleum sector that damages vehicles.

Several African nations, including Tanzania, have secured crucial petroleum imports from Nigeria’s Dangote mega-refinery, outpacing Kenya in the process amidst rising global fuel costs.

• 456,000 tonnes of fuel across 12 cargoes were sold to countries like Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Tanzania, Ghana, and Togo.
• Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, owns the refinery.
• Kenya reportedly approached Dangote in mid-March, but Tanzania and West African nations finalized deals first, with the refinery prioritizing domestic consumption at 75% of its 650,000 barrels per day output.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has explained why electricity bills increase significantly for Kenyan consumers using over 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) monthly and offered strategies for cost reduction.

• Domestic customers consuming more than 100 kWh per month fall into the DC3 category, attracting a higher base tariff of Ksh18.57 per kWh, plus additional pass-through costs and taxes.
• EPRA, through its Director General Daniel Kiptoo Bargoria, highlighted the Time-of-Use (ToU) tariff program, allowing 50% savings during off-peak hours, which saved users Ksh971 million between July and December 2025.
• Regional consumption patterns influence bills, with Nairobi accounting for 44.24% of total electricity usage, while South Nyanza saw the fastest growth at 22.53%.
