The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced a reduction in fuel prices across the country for the September 15 to October 14, 2025, pricing cycle.

In a statement issued on September 14, 2025, EPRA said Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will all record slight decreases in pump prices.

“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, the Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th September 2025 to 14th October 2025,” read part of EPRA’s press release.

Price adjustments

According to EPRA, Super Petrol will decrease by Ksh0.79 per litre, Diesel by Ksh0.11 per litre, and Kerosene by Ksh0.80 per litre. These prices already factor in the 16 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) as stipulated in the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and revised excise duties adjusted for inflation under Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.

Effective midnight, in Nairobi, Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene now retail at Ksh184.52, Ksh171.47 and Ksh154.78.

The regulator attributed the reduction to a drop in the average landed costs of imported petroleum products.

“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene decreases by KShs.0.79/litre, KShs.0.11/litre and KShs.0.80/litre, respectively. The prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and the revised rates excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020. for The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 0.46% from US$623.71 per cubic metre,” EPRA’s statement read in part.

“In July 2025 to US$620.84 per cubic metre in August 2025; Diesel decreased by 3.38% from US$635.58 per cubic metre to US$614.08 per cubic metre while Kerosene decreased by 2.93% from US$628.02 per cubic metre to US$609.59 per cubic metre over the same period.”

It is worth noting that Kiharu member of parliament, Ndindi Nyoro, had earlier raised concerns over the rising prices of fuel.

Global oil price trends

The adjustments reflect changes in the global petroleum market. Murban Crude oil prices fell from US$83.80 per barrel in September 2024 to US$69.81 in August 2025. EPRA noted that the Kenyan shilling remained stable against the dollar, with the exchange rate averaging Ksh129.62 in August 2025.

This comes a month after the regulator lowered fuel prices in the August 15 to September 14 cycle. At that time, Super Petrol and Kerosene each dropped by Ksh1.00 per litre, while Diesel prices remained unchanged. The earlier review was informed by a 0.73 per cent fall in the landed cost of Super Petrol, even as Diesel and Kerosene costs rose by 3.08 per cent and 3.20 per cent respectively.
