The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced plans to introduce maximum retail prices for cooking gas, which are set to come into effect in October 2025.
EPRA Director Daniel Kiptoo announced that this change is intended to protect consumers from volatile market prices.
He added that the relevant legal and regulatory rules are already in place and that discussions are ongoing with various groups regarding the Open Tender System (OTS) for large-scale gas imports. "The framework is already in place, the OTS agreement is ready, and it has been negotiated with the industry, so we are now just looking at a transition plan.
We have to get Oil Marketing Companies to sign up on the Open Tender System Agreement," Kiptoo explained.
