The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority has reduced the price of fuel by Sh1.
Epra said the new fuel prices will take effect from August 15.
In the latest review made on Thursday, August 14, the authority stated that the prices for super petrol and kerosene will reduce by Sh1 per litre, while diesel will remain the same.
In Nairobi, super petrol, diesel and kerosene will now retail at Sh185.31, Sh171.58 and Sh155.58, effective midnight for the next 30 days.
"In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th August 2025 to 14th September 2025," Epra said in a statement.
"The prices are inclusive of the 16 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020."
On July 14, Epra increased fuel prices by Sh 8.99 for petrol, Sh8.67 for diesel and Sh9.65 per litre of kerosene.
In last July’s fuel prices review, Freight cost increases had an impact as shipping lines reacted to the attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway located between Iran and Oman, connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
It was a vital chokepoint for global oil and natural gas trade, with approximately 20 per cent of global oil consumption and 20 per cent of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade passing through it daily.
