Updated 12 November 2026
The official way to search the EPRA retail LPG register in Kenya is to use the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority’s public licence-register table, not a shop poster 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 “Retail of LPG in Cylinders,” with the official description “Details on retail distribution of LPG in cylinders,” and a Download link that opens the public portal table.
On a count of all 10 official portal pages on 12 November 2026, the table printed “Showing 1-100 of 974 items.” on the first page and “Showing 901-974 of 974 items.” on the last page. Those 974 licence-number rows were all present, and all 974 licence numbers were unique. The Company Name column had 452 unique names: 368 names appeared once, and 84 names each appeared on more than one official row, including one official name on 205 rows. This guide does not paste the names. A later official register would supersede those counts.

What the retail LPG register is
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority keeps a public register of firms licensed for the retail of LPG in cylinders, 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 import, storage, transport and autogas 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 “Retail-LPG-Cylinders.”
The official table, checked that day, uses the columns Company Name, Premises Town, Licence Number, Category and Expiry Date. Every official Category cell in this snapshot was printed “Retail of LPG in Cylinders.” This is a premises-level official table: the same company name can appear on more than one row, each with its own licence number and premises town. This guide does not paste company names.
How to search the EPRA retail LPG register in Kenya
To search the EPRA retail LPG register in Kenya, open epra.go.ke/petroleum-registers and use the official Download link for “Retail of LPG in Cylinders.” That link opens the Authority’s public licence-register portal table. On 12 November 2026 the table ran to 10 official pages at 100 rows per page, with 74 rows on the last page.
You can sort the official columns, including the company name, the premises town, the licence number and the expiry date, and you can move through the printed pages. 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 retail LPG 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 all 10 official pages of the Retail of LPG in Cylinders 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 retail LPG register in Kenya on those pages. The official Showing line uses a hyphen with no spaces and a full stop after “items.” There is no thousands comma in “974.”
All 974 printed items were present as licence-number rows, and all 974 licence numbers were unique. 452 company names were unique: 368 names appeared once and 84 names each appeared on more than one official row, with a different licence number on each of those rows. Official multiplicity was not only doubles: among those 84 names, the highest official counts were 205, 56, 46, 30 and 17 rows for a single printed company name. No company-name cell was blank. Official licence-number typography used an EPRA/LPG/ prefix on every row, but the official digit string after that prefix was not of one length: 5 digits on 653 rows and 4 digits on 321 rows.
Every official Category cell was printed “Retail of LPG in Cylinders.” No Premises Town cell was blank, and none was printed “(not set).” There were 120 unique official town strings. Nairobi appeared as “Nairobi” on 194 rows and “NAIROBI” on 27 rows. The remaining official town strings are not listed here. All 974 expiry dates were filled: 119 rows expire in 2026 and 855 expire in 2027, across 93 official dates. The earliest official expiry in the snapshot was 12 November 2026, the same date as the count, and the latest was 5 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, LPG storage, transport or autogas, 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 an LPG retail licence application or online clearance
Searching the EPRA retail LPG register in Kenya tells you whether a firm and premises currently appear on the official retail-of-LPG-in-cylinders table. It does not tell you how to apply for that licence, what documents to file, or what fees apply. That application route is covered in the published LPG retail licence guide.
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, an approved licence application and an online clearance result are three different official questions.
What to do if the retailer 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 more than the first page: this snapshot ran to 10 official pages. 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/LPG/ prefix, search the live table anyway; official digit strings in this snapshot were either four or five digits.
When you write, include the exact name as printed on the certificate, the licence number, 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 retail LPG register in Kenya: is this firm and premises on the current official table? It does not, on its own, approve a shop, set a cylinder price or replace the licence-application or online-clearance checks.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the official EPRA retail LPG register in Kenya?
On the Petroleum Registers page at epra.go.ke/petroleum-registers, checked on 12 November 2026, under the official label “Retail of LPG in Cylinders.” The official Download link opens the public licence-register table, which ran to 10 pages in this snapshot.
How many retail LPG licences are on the register?
On a count of all 10 official portal pages on 12 November 2026, there were 974 unique licence numbers and 452 unique company names. 84 company names each appeared on more than one official row. A later official register would supersede those counts.
Is this the same as applying for an LPG retail licence?
No. This table is the public register of current retail-of-LPG-in-cylinders licences. The published LPG retail licence guide covers the application route, which is a different official question.
Does a row here confirm EPRA online clearance?
No. The EPRA retail LPG 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.
