November–December 2026 fuel prices in Kenya

The government has allocated Ksh4.6 billion to stabilise pump prices despite higher import costs for petrol, diesel and kerosene.

EPRA fuel prices will remain unchanged from November 14 to December 14, 2026, following government support worth Ksh4.6 billion.

In Nairobi, Super Petrol will continue to cost Ksh226.96 per litre, while diesel will retail at Ksh227.76. Kerosene will also remain at Ksh219.87 per litre.

Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority Director General Edward Kinyua announced the decision in a statement on Saturday, November 14. The government drew the stabilisation funding from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund.

EPRA said the prices include eight per cent Value Added Tax, reflecting government policy to cushion consumers against high international prices.

According to the regulator, the funding prevented a Ksh8.58 increase per litre of Super Petrol. It also averted increases of Ksh10.54 for diesel and Ksh1.16 for kerosene.

Super Petrol’s average landed cost increased by 6.11 per cent, from Ksh127,248 to Ksh135,025 per cubic metre. In dollar terms, the cost rose from $977.55 to $1,037.30.

Diesel costs also climbed by 6.73 per cent, from Ksh138,681 ($1,065.38) to Ksh148,015 ($1,137.09) per cubic metre.

For kerosene, the landed cost increased by 0.71 per cent, from Ksh142,967 ($1,098.31) to Ksh143,982 ($1,106.11) per cubic metre.
