Updated 12 November 2026
The official way to search the EPRA petroleum storage register in Kenya is to use the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority’s public licence-register table, not a depot notice or a social-media certificate post. On 12 November 2026 that table was linked from the Authority’s Petroleum Registers page at epra.go.ke/petroleum-registers. The official row is labelled “Storage of Petroleum Products Except LPG,” with the official description “Register of storage facilities for petroleum products excluding LPG,” and a Download link that opens the public portal table.
On a count of the official portal page on 12 November 2026, the table printed “Showing 1-47 of 47 items.” Those 47 numbered rows were all present. 45 licence numbers were unique and filled, and 2 official licence-number cells were printed “(not set).” The Company Name column had 23 unique names: 14 names appeared once, and 9 names each appeared on more than one official row, including one official name on 8 rows. This guide does not paste the names. A later official register would supersede those counts.

What the petroleum storage register is
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority keeps a public register of firms licensed for the storage of petroleum products except LPG, separate from the other official petroleum-register tables on the same Petroleum Registers page, including the retail-of-petroleum-products-except-LPG table and the LPG storage, transport, bunkering and retail tables. It is also separate from the electricity, solar-photovoltaic and energy-auditor registers on the wider EPRA portal. The portal page title on 12 November 2026 was “Storage-Petroleum-Products-Except-LPG.”
The official table, checked that day, uses the columns Company Name, Licence Number, Licence Application Id, Premises Town, Category and Expiry Date, in that order. The extra official Licence Application Id column does not appear on the official retail LPG or retail petroleum tables counted the same day. This is a premises-level official table: the same company name can appear on more than one row, each with its own official identifiers and premises town. This guide does not paste company names.
How to search the EPRA petroleum storage register in Kenya
To search the EPRA petroleum storage register in Kenya, open epra.go.ke/petroleum-registers and use the official Download link for “Storage of Petroleum Products Except LPG.” That link opens the Authority’s public licence-register portal table. On 12 November 2026 the official Showing line covered all 47 items on a single page.
You can sort the official columns, including the company name, the licence number, the licence application id, the premises town and the expiry date. Use the live table rather than a downloaded snapshot if you need the current row.
The same portal menu also includes a Verify Licence link. This guide does not treat a verification result as a substitute for the public petroleum storage table counted on 12 November 2026, and it does not invent a result from a form that was not submitted.
What the November 2026 count includes, and what it omits
The counts below are from the official Storage of Petroleum Products Except LPG table, as served on 12 November 2026, not from a media republication and not from a Business Radar tool. They are the current official snapshot of the EPRA petroleum storage register in Kenya on that page. The official Showing line uses a hyphen with no spaces and a full stop after “items.” There is no thousands comma in “47.”
All 47 printed items were present as numbered rows. 45 licence numbers were unique and filled, and 2 official licence-number cells were printed “(not set).” No filled licence number appeared on more than one row. 23 company names were unique: 14 names appeared once and 9 names each appeared on more than one official row. Official multiplicity was not only doubles: among those 9 names, the highest official counts were 8, 7, 4 and 3 rows for a single printed company name. No company-name cell was blank.
Official licence-number typography used an EPRA/PET/ prefix on the 45 filled licence-number cells, and “(not set)” on the other 2 cells. The official digit string after that prefix was not of one length: 4 digits on 42 rows and 5 digits on 3 rows. Every official Licence Application Id cell was filled with a unique numeric string: 6 digits on 24 rows and 5 digits on 23 rows. None of those application-id cells was blank or printed “(not set).”
Official Category typography did not match the Petroleum Registers page label exactly. 40 Category cells were printed “Storage of petroleum products(Except LPG),” with a lowercase “p” in “petroleum” and no space before the opening parenthesis. 7 Category cells were printed “(not set).” Those 7 rows are not the same as the 2 rows whose licence-number cells were “(not set)”: no official row in this snapshot had both of those cells printed “(not set).”
No Premises Town cell was blank, and none was printed “(not set).” There were 12 unique official town strings. Nairobi appeared as “NAIROBI” on 14 rows and “Nairobi” on 8 rows. Mombasa appeared as “Mombasa” on 10 rows and “MOMBASA” on 5 rows. The remaining official town strings are not listed here. All 47 expiry dates were filled: 10 rows expire in 2026 and 37 expire in 2027, across 33 official dates. The earliest official expiry in the snapshot was 2 December 2026, and the latest was 1 November 2027.
This snapshot does not include a count of the other official petroleum-register tables on the same page, including retail of petroleum products except LPG or any LPG storage table, and it is not a count of EPRA’s electricity or solar-photovoltaic registers. Do not treat a missing search result as proof that a later official row does not exist; search again on the live register.
How this sits with a retail petroleum table or online clearance
Searching the EPRA petroleum storage register in Kenya tells you whether a firm and premises currently appear on the official storage-of-petroleum-products-except-LPG table. It does not tell you whether the same firm also appears on the official retail-of-petroleum-products-except-LPG table, which is a different row on the same Petroleum Registers page and a different official licence.
It also does not tell you whether an import or other petroleum consignment has been cleared through EPRA’s online clearance system. That is a different official process, covered in the published EPRA online clearance guide. A current row on this register, a row on a retail petroleum table and an online clearance result are three different official questions.
What to do if the facility is missing
If the company name, premises town or licence number you were given does not appear in the official table, check the exact spelling and look at the Licence Application Id column as well. In this snapshot, 2 official rows had a licence-number cell printed “(not set)” but still had a unique numeric application id, a company name, a premises town and an expiry date. A later official row would supersede the 12 November 2026 count.
If a certificate quotes a licence number with a different number of digits after the EPRA/PET/ prefix, search the live table anyway; official digit strings in this snapshot were either four or five digits, and 2 official rows had no licence number at all. When you write, include the exact name as printed on the certificate, the licence number, the application id if you have it, the premises town, the date you searched, and a copy of the document you were shown.
The register answers a narrow question about the EPRA petroleum storage register in Kenya: is this firm and premises on the current official table? It does not, on its own, approve a depot, set a storage tariff or replace the online-clearance checks.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the official EPRA petroleum storage register in Kenya?
On the Petroleum Registers page at epra.go.ke/petroleum-registers, checked on 12 November 2026, under the official label “Storage of Petroleum Products Except LPG.” The official Download link opens the public licence-register table, which fitted on one official page in this snapshot.
How many petroleum storage licences are on the register?
On a count of the official portal page on 12 November 2026, there were 47 numbered rows, 45 unique filled licence numbers and 23 unique company names. 2 official licence-number cells were printed “(not set).” A later official register would supersede those counts.
Does this table also list retail petrol stations?
No. This table is the public register of current storage-of-petroleum-products-except-LPG licences. Retail of petroleum products except LPG is a different official table on the same Petroleum Registers page.
Does a row here confirm EPRA online clearance?
No. The EPRA petroleum storage register in Kenya does not record whether an import or consignment has been cleared online. Use the published EPRA online clearance guide when that question matters.
