The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has revised fuel prices for the period between May 19 and June 14, 2026, lowering the price of diesel following concerns raised by public transport operators.
In a press release issued on May 18, EPRA said the review followed a petition from operators in the public transport sector who sought intervention to reduce the risk of fuel adulteration caused by the large price gap between diesel and kerosene.
According to the regulator, the pump price of diesel in Nairobi will now decrease by Sh10.06 per litre, while the price of kerosene will increase by Sh38.60 per litre. The price of super petrol will remain unchanged.
EPRA said the recalculated prices are intended to minimise the risk of motor fuel adulteration that could arise due to the significant price difference between diesel and kerosene.
“The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has recalculated the maximum retail pump prices that will be in force from 19th May 2026 to 14th June 2026 following a petition by public transport sector operators,” the statement read, with the authority adding that the updated petroleum pump price list and a detailed breakdown of Nairobi fuel prices have been attached as annexes to the release..
