The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that the prices of fuel will not change for the November/December 2025 pumping cycle, marking the third month in a row that fuel prices have remained unchanged, providing a consistent and predictable cost of fuel for consumers.
For consumers in Nairobi, this means they will continue to pay KES 184.52 for a litre of super petrol, KES 171.47 for diesel and KES 154.78 for kerosene. These prices effectuate 15th November 2025 and run to the 14th of December 2025, and include the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) and other updated tax rates as required by government legislation. According to EPRA’s Director General, Daniel Kiptoo, the steady prices are a direct result of minimum changes in the international cost of importing fuel.
“EPRA has calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force for the next 30 days. During this period, the maximum allowed pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged.” – Daniel Kiptoo – EPRA Director General.
Generally, this period of stable fuel prices offers significant relief and predictability for both households and the economy. For the average family, it means the cost of transportation and cooking will not rise immediately. For businesses that depend heavily on fuel, such as those in transport, logistics and manufacturing, it allows for more accurate financial planning without worry of sudden cost spikes. On a broader economic level, EPRA’s decision to steady fuel prices helps to control inflation, as fuel is a key component in the production and distribution of almost all goods and services.
Kenya imports all its refined petroleum products, and the final price is determined by a framework that considers global market prices and the exchange rate between the Kenyan shilling and the US dollar. The role of EPRA’s pricing regulations is to give the direction of retail prices of fuel taking into account all variables including prevailing oil prices and attendant costs, as well as local taxation.
