Motorists across Kenya are set to enjoy lower fuel prices after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority announced a reduction in the maximum retail prices of Super Petrol and Diesel for the period between 15 June 2026 and 14 July 2026.
In a statement released on 14 June 2026, the authority said the price of Super Petrol would decrease by KSh0.22 per litre, while Diesel would drop by KSh10.00 per litre. The price of Kerosene will remain unchanged during the review period.
New fuel prices
In Nairobi, Super Petrol will retail at a maximum of KSh214.03 per litre, Diesel at KSh222.86 per litre, and Kerosene at KSh191.38 per litre.
The regulator said the prices are inclusive of Value Added Tax and reflect adjustments made under existing petroleum pricing regulations.
According to the review, the government cushioned consumers from higher fuel costs through the Petroleum Development Levy Fund, utilizing approximately KSh10 billion to subsidize Diesel and Kerosene prices.
Changes in international market prices
EPRA attributed the price adjustments to movements in international petroleum markets and changes in the cost of imported fuel.
The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 0.56%, falling from USD906.23 per cubic metre in April 2026 to USD901.16 per cubic metre in May 2026.
Meanwhile, the landed cost of Diesel increased by 0.21% from USD1,291.98 per cubic metre to USD1,294.71 per cubic metre during the same period.
Kerosene recorded a 0.33% decline in landed cost, dropping from USD1,332.73 per cubic metre to USD1,328.36 per cubic metre.
Prices vary across towns.
The revised fuel prices apply across the country, with slight variations depending on transport and distribution costs.
Among major towns, Mombasa will retail Super Petrol at KSh210.87 per litre, Diesel at KSh219.58 per litre, and Kerosene at KSh188.09 per litre.
In Nakuru, motorists will pay KSh212.92 per litre for Super Petrol, KSh222.27 per litre for Diesel, and KSh190.81 per litre for Kerosene.
Consumers in Kisumu will purchase Super Petrol at KSh213.69 per litre, Diesel at KSh223.08 per litre, and Kerosene at KSh191.63 per litre.
Consumer Protection
EPRA said Kenya continues to import all its petroleum requirements and that international fuel prices remain a key determinant in the computation of local pump prices.
The authority reiterated its commitment to ensuring fair competition and protecting the interests of both consumers and investors in the energy and petroleum sectors.
