EPRA fuel prices for 15 November to 14 December 2026 stay unchanged: in Nairobi, Super Petrol retails at KSh 226.96 a litre, Diesel at KSh 227.76 and Kerosene at KSh 219.87, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) said on 14 November 2026. The new maximum pump prices apply for the next 30 days.
EPRA said the prices are inclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) at 8%, in line with Government policy to cushion consumers from the negative effects of high international prices.
EPRA fuel prices in Nairobi, 15 November to 14 December 2026
| Product | Nairobi pump price (KSh per litre) | Change from last month |
|---|---|---|
| Super Petrol | 226.96 | Unchanged |
| Diesel | 227.76 | Unchanged |
| Kerosene | 219.87 | Unchanged |
The prices are in force from 15 November 2026 to 14 December 2026, under Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No. 192 of 2022. EPRA’s press release, signed by Director General Eng. Edward M. Kinyua, says a summary for other major towns is in Annex I of the full release on the EPRA announcement on X.
Why EPRA fuel prices did not change
EPRA says the average landed cost of imported fuel rose in the period under review:
- Super Petrol rose 6.11%, from US$977.55 to US$1,037.30 per cubic metre.
- Diesel rose 6.73%, from US$1,065.38 to US$1,137.09 per cubic metre.
- Kerosene rose 0.71%, from US$1,098.31 to US$1,106.11 per cubic metre.
The Government has applied KSh 4.6 billion from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund to stabilise pump prices for the November to December 2026 cycle. EPRA says that without the levy support, pump prices would have risen by KSh 8.58 a litre for Super Petrol, KSh 10.54 for Diesel and KSh 1.16 for Kerosene.
What it means for motorists
Motorists, matatu operators and boda boda riders will pay the same maximum prices as in the previous cycle. EPRA says the purpose of the Petroleum Pricing Regulations is to cap retail prices of products already in the country, so that importation and other prudently incurred costs are recovered while prices to consumers stay reasonable. The next review is due on 14 December 2026.
