EPRA Announces New Fuel Prices for June–July 2026

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced new maximum retail petroleum prices that will take effect from 15 June 2026 to 14 July 2026. Under the latest review, the price of Super Petrol will decrease by KSh 0.22 per litre, while Diesel will drop by KSh 10.00 per litre. The price of Kerosene will remain unchanged throughout the pricing cycle.

The reduction is expected to provide some relief to motorists, transport operators and businesses that rely heavily on fuel. The significant drop in diesel prices is particularly welcome for the transport and logistics sectors, where fuel costs account for a large share of operating expenses.

According to EPRA, the changes are linked to movements in international fuel import costs. The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 0.56 percent, falling from US$906.23 per cubic metre in April 2026 to US$901.16 per cubic metre in May 2026. Diesel recorded a slight increase of 0.21 percent in landed cost, while Kerosene declined by 0.33 percent during the same period.

To cushion consumers from sharp fluctuations in global oil prices, the government will continue utilizing the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) Fund. EPRA says approximately KSh 10 billion will be used during this pricing cycle to stabilize the prices of Diesel and Kerosene.

The new fuel prices are expected to ease pressure on transport and production costs across the country. Consumers and businesses will be keen to see whether the lower diesel prices lead to reduced transport fares and a slowdown in the rising cost of goods and services in the weeks ahead.
