Energy Petroleum Regulator Authority (EPRA) has reduced the prices of super petrol, diesel and kerosene in its latest monthly price review.
EPRA said the price reduction in super petrol, diesel and kerosene was a result of the prices of oil decreasing in the international market.
“The average landed cost of imported super petrol decreased by 16.11% from US$827.75 per cubic metre in October 2023 to US$694.44 per cubic metre in November 2023; diesel decreased by 5.43% from US$873.42 per cubic metre to US$826.01 per cubic metre while kerosene decreased by 6.63% from US$813.90 per cubic metre to US$759.93 per cubic metre,” EPRA said in a statement shared on Thursday, December 14, 2023.
EPRA announced that the new prices adjusted downwards are set to take effect on Friday, December 15, 2023, and will see the prices of super petrol decrease by Ksh5, diesel by Ksh2 and kerosene by Ksh4 per litre.
Following the reduction, the price of super petrol in Nairobi will be Ksh212.36, diesel will retail at Ksh201.47 whereas kerosene will cost Ksh.199.05 per litre.
In Mombasa, the price of super petrol will retail at Ksh209.3, diesel Ksh198.41 and kerosene Ksh195.92.
In Kisumu, the price of super petrol will retail at Ksh212.12, diesel Ksh201.64 and kerosene at Ksh199.23.
Towns in the northern parts of the country will still have to contend with high fuel prices as the cost of a litre of super petrol in Mandera will retail at Ksh226.36, diesel at Ksh215.47 and kerosene at Ksh200.01.
In Garissa, the price of super petrol will retail at Ksh216.84, diesel Ksh205.28 and kerosene at 203.52.
