Pump Pain: Fuel Prices Up Again
Kenyans are set to face higher living costs as fuel prices have significantly increased, effective today, largely attributed to rising international landed costs and the impact of longer shipping routes.
According to the latest monthly review by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), the price of Super Petrol has surged by Sh8.99 per liter, Diesel by Sh8.67, and Kerosene by Sh9.65.
This means that in Nairobi, a litre of Super Petrol will now retail at Sh186.31, up from Sh177.32. Diesel will now cost Sh171.58 per litre, an increase from Sh162.91. Kerosene, a vital commodity for many low-income households, will see its price jump to Sh156.58 per litre, from the previous Sh146.93.
“The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has calculated the maximum wholesale and retail prices of petroleum products, which will be in force from 15th July 2025 to 14th August 2025,” reads part of EPRA’s statement.
According to the authority, the increase in fuel prices is a result of an increase in landing costs of the products.
“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 6.45 percent from Sh 76,436 per cubic metre in May 2025 to Sh 81, 169 per cubic metre in June 2025,” said EPRA.
