The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced that the maximum retail prices of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will remain unchanged for the period 15 November to 14 December 2026.

EPRA’s notice cited the weighted average cost of imported refined petroleum products as the basis for keeping the allowed retail pump prices unchanged during the review period.

The listed prices include an 8 percent Value Added Tax, reflecting government policy to shield consumers from volatile international fuel costs.

Despite a rise in landed costs – Super Petrol up 6.11 percent, Diesel up 6.73 percent and Kerosene up 0.71 percent between September and October 2026 – the regulator says the price freeze will protect consumers.

To offset the cost increases, the government has allocated Sh4.6 billion from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund for the November‑December pricing cycle.

EPRA estimates that the intervention prevents a rise of Sh8.58 per litre for Super Petrol, Sh10.54 per litre for Diesel and Sh1.16 per litre for Kerosene that would otherwise have been passed on to consumers.

In Nairobi, the retail rates will stay at Sh225.96 per litre for Super Petrol, Sh227.76 per litre for Diesel and Sh219.05 per litre for Kerosene throughout the month.
