Motorists will enjoy a slight relief at the pump after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) reduced the prices of super petrol and kerosene by Sh1 per litre, while keeping diesel prices unchanged for the next one month.

In its monthly pricing review released on Thursday, EPRA said the new rates, which apply from August 15 to September 14, 2025, were calculated in line with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act, 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022.

“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum wholesale and retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from August 15, 2025, to September 14, 2025,” said EPRA Director General Daniel Kiptoo Bargoria.

In Nairobi, the revised pump prices will be Sh185.31 for super petrol, Sh171.58 for diesel, and Sh155.58 for kerosene.

In Mombasa, motorists will pay Sh182.03 for petrol, Sh168.30 for diesel, and Sh152.29 for kerosene.

EPRA said the adjustments are based on changes in the landed cost of fuel.

The average landed cost of super petrol dropped by 0.73 per cent from $628.30 per cubic metre in June to $623.71 in July. Diesel increased by 3.08 per cent to $635.58, while kerosene rose by 3.20 per cent to $628.02 in the same period.

The price review comes at a time when global crude oil prices have been falling.

Data from the Central Bank of Kenya weekly bulletin released on August 8 shows Murban crude dropping to $68.25 (Sh8,871) per barrel on August 7 from $73.52 (Sh9,550) on July 31.

The decline is linked to an expected rise in supply after OPEC+ announced plans to increase production by 547,000 barrels per day from September.

Brent crude futures closed at $66.12 (Sh8,578), down 0.77 per cent, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) settled at $63.17 (Sh8,197), a 1.24 per cent drop.

“International oil prices decreased during the week ending August 7. Murban oil price decreased to USD 68.25 per barrel on August 7 from 73.52 per barrel on July 31,” the CBK noted in its report.

EPRA assured consumers that the petroleum pricing rules aim to cap retail prices for products already in the country while ensuring importation and operational costs are covered, and prices remain fair.

“The Authority wishes to assure the public of its continued commitment to the observance of fair competition and protection of the interests of both consumers and investors in the energy and petroleum sectors,” Bargoria said.

In the previous cycle from July 15 to August 14, prices in Nairobi stood at Sh186.31 for petrol, Sh171.58 for diesel, and Sh156.58 for kerosene, after a rise in global oil prices pushed fuel costs higher.
