EPRA announces new revised fuel prices for May to June - May 2026

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority has announced a reduction in diesel prices by Ksh10.06 per litre, while increasing kerosene prices by Ksh38.60 per litre. The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority has capped new pipeline transport tariffs for the Kenya Pipeline Company, shielding consumers from potentially higher fuel prices. Kenyan Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi explained that Tanzania's fuel is cheaper than Kenya's due to the timing of imports, not a significant pricing gap. The Law Society of Kenya is demanding an audit of Kenya's government-to-government oil importation arrangement and full disclosure of the fuel pricing formula. Kenyan energy officials have defended the country's high electricity costs, asserting that a reliable power supply is paramount for economic growth, even if it means higher tariffs.
