Fuel Prices Remain Unchanged for May-June Period, EPRA Announces

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that fuel prices will remain unchanged for the period between May 15th and June 14th, 2025, despite significant decreases in the landing costs of imported petroleum products.

In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene is Sh174.73; Sh164.86 and Sh148.99 respectively.

The prices will remain in force from May 15, 2025 to June 14, 2025.

Epra attributed the drop to a decrease in average landed cost of imported fuel products.

The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 2.95 per cent from US$606.06 per cubic metre in March 2025 to US$588.16 per cubic metre in April 2025.

Diesel decreased by 6.62 per cent from US$636.75 per cubic metre to US$594.60 per cubic metre while Kerosene decreased by 4.52 per cent from US$628.22 per cubic metre to US$599.84 per cubic metre over the same period.
