The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced the maximum retail prices for petroleum products for the period running from December 15, 2025, to January 14, 2026.
In its review released on Sunday, December 14, EPRA said the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will remain unchanged for the next 30 days.
In Nairobi, Super Petrol will continue to retail at sh 184.52 per litre, Diesel at sh 171.47, and Kerosene at sh 154.78.
In Mombasa, the maximum prices are set at sh 181.24 for Super Petrol, sh 168.19 for Diesel, and Ksh 151.49 for Kerosene.
Motorists in Nakuru will pay Ksh 183.56 for Super Petrol, sh 170.87 for Diesel, and sh 154.21 for Kerosene.
In Eldoret, Super Petrol is priced at sh 184.38, Diesel at sh 171.68, and Kerosene at sh 155.03.
Kisumu will see similar prices, with Super Petrol retailing at sh 184.37, Diesel at sh 171.68, and Kerosene at sh 155.03.
EPRA noted that the prices include the 16 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation under Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
The regulator reported that the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol fell by 4.25 per cent, from USD 619.14 per cubic metre in October 2025 to USD 592.84 in November 2025.
However, the landed cost of Diesel rose by 3.02 per cent to USD 654.24 per cubic metre, up from USD 635.05, while Kerosene increased by 5.52 per cent to USD 667.05 per cubic metre from USD 632.16.
The review comes against the backdrop of easing global oil prices. Speaking on December 10, 2025, Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Governor Kamau Thugge attributed the moderation in international oil prices to increased production and weaker global demand, though he cautioned that prices remain volatile due to global uncertainties.
OPEC+ producers raised oil output by 137,000 barrels per day in November and December 2025, while strong non-OPEC production has further boosted supply.
According to the CBK’s weekly bulletin, rising oil inventories and ongoing Ukraine–Russia peace negotiations have also weighed on prices, with Murban crude trading at USD 62.97 per barrel on December 11, down from USD 64.33 a week earlier.
EPRA noted that fuel prices also remained unchanged during the previous November pricing cycle, with retail prices across major towns holding steady at the same levels seen in the current review.
