EPRA Reduces Prices of Super Petrol and Kerosene by Ksh1, Diesel Remains Unchanged
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced new fuel prices to take effect from August 15.
In its latest review on Thursday, August 14, the authority announced that the prices for super petrol and kerosene have dropped by Ksh1, while diesel remains unchanged.
In the latest review made on Thursday, August 14, the authority stated that the prices of super petrol and kerosene will go down by Ksh1 per litre, while diesel will remain the same.
According to the statement, the new prices will apply from August 15, 2025, to September 14, 2025, as set under the Petroleum Act 2019 and the relevant legal notice.
This adjustment means that motorists and households will see a slight relief at the pump for super petrol and kerosene, but those using diesel will not experience any change.
The review comes after a month of higher prices that had left many Kenyans digging deeper into their pockets.
In July, Nairobi residents were paying Ksh186.31 for super petrol, Ksh171.58 for diesel, and Ksh156.58 for kerosene.
The latest changes will now lower the cost of super petrol and kerosene slightly, offering minor relief for transport and household energy expenses.
However, with diesel prices staying unchanged, transport operators and businesses that rely heavily on diesel-powered vehicles may still face high operating costs.
EPRA carries out such reviews every month to reflect changes in global fuel prices, exchange rates, and other economic factors that affect petroleum costs.
