Fuel prices remain unchanged, says EPRA
Motorists will have a sigh of relief this month as fuel prices remain the same, according to the latest monthly review by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA).
The unchanged prices will apply for the next 30 days, covering the period from May 15 to June 14, 2025.
During this cycle, the price of Super Petrol will stay at Sh174.63 per litre, Diesel at Sh164.86, and Kerosene at Sh148.99 in Nairobi.
These prices include all applicable taxes, such as the 16% VAT under the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and inflation-adjusted excise duty rates.
"In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged," said EPRA.
Behind the unchanged pump prices is a decline in the average landed cost of imported fuel products.
The cost of Super Petrol went down by 2.95%, dropping from US$606.06 per cubic metre in March to US$588.16 in April.
Diesel prices at import level also fell by 6.62%, moving from US$636.75 to US$594.60 per cubic metre.
Kerosene followed the same trend, with a 4.52% reduction from US$628.22 to US$599.84 over the same period.
Despite the lower importation costs, EPRA did not pass on the changes to consumers at the pump.
It is the third time in 2025 that the Authority has chosen to maintain fuel prices, having done so in the February-March and March-April reviews.
The last price adjustment was during the January-February window when Super Petrol went up by Sh0.29, Diesel by Sh2, and Kerosene by Sh3 per litre.
For the upcoming period, a litre of Super Petrol will retail at Sh171.39 in Mombasa, Sh174.63 in Nairobi, Sh173.85 in Nakuru, Sh174.67 in Eldoret, and Sh173.85 in Kisumu.
Diesel will be capped at Sh161.62 in Mombasa, Sh164.86 in Nairobi, Sh164.43 in Nakuru, Sh165.25 in Eldoret, and Sh165.24 in Kisumu.
Kerosene will retail at Sh149.42 in Kisumu and Eldoret, Sh148.61 in Nakuru, Sh148.99 in Nairobi, and Sh145.75 in Mombasa.
In the previous review covering April to May, EPRA lowered prices after global oil prices dropped and exchange rates improved.
This month, however, the authority has chosen to keep prices stable despite the continued fall in landed fuel costs.
