Today, we conclude a weeklong public baraza covering Taita taveta County in Mwatate, Lungalunga in Kwale County and Mombasa in Bamburi, in collaboration with the respective Office of the County Commissioners, County Sectrary’s at the aforementioned Counties alongside the State Department for Energy. The forums sensitised residents on the safe handling, storage, transportation and use of coal, as well as the regulatory framework governing coal-related activities. With Kenya importing approximately 2.5 million metric tonnes of coal annually to support industries such as cement, steel and ceramics, safe operations, regulatory compliance and environmental protection remain essential. We remain committed to working with National and County Governments, and local communities to promote safe, responsible energy practices. Check out draft regulation on coal here epra.go.ke

Earlier today, @EpraDg engaged the Senate Standing Committee on Energy in Mombasa County, where he provided insights into the implementation of Kenya’s fuel price stabilization framework and the role of the Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) in mitigating the impact of fluctuations in international petroleum prices on domestic consumers. During the engagement, the Director General highlighted the implementation of the fuel price stabilization mechanism, through which approximately KShs.29.4 billion was disbursed during the 2025/2026 financial year to cushion consumers against increases in petroleum prices. The discussions also addressed the financial sustainability of the stabilization framework, including the management of available resources, funding requirements and the need to balance consumer protection with the continued stability of petroleum supply. The engagement provided an opportunity to underscore the Authority’s role in ensuring transparent, predictable and equitable petroleum pricing, while promoting regulatory accountability and protecting the interests of consumers and other stakeholders in the petroleum sector. @EPRA_KE remains committed to the effective implementation of the petroleum pricing framework, safeguarding consumer interests and supporting a stable, competitive and sustainable petroleum sector.

Today, we conclude a two-day public baraza in Kitui County, with engagements held at Mathuki Market and in the Mutitu/Zombe area, in collaboration with the Office of the County Commissioner, led by Mr. Erastus Mbui, and the County Government of Kitui, represented by Mr. Richard John Mwendandu, County Executive Committee Member for Energy, Environment, Forestry, Natural and Mineral Resources, alongside the State Department for Energy. The forums provided an opportunity to sensitise residents on the safe handling, storage, transportation and use of coal, while enhancing awareness of the regulatory framework governing coal-related activities. Coal plays an important role in Kenya’s industrial sector, particularly in cement manufacturing, steel production and ceramic manufacturing, where it provides heat for industrial processes. Kenya currently relies on imported coal to meet much of this demand, while Kitui County’s Mui Basin holds significant coal deposits. Through such engagements, EPRA continues to strengthen collaboration with national and county government administrations and local communities to promote public awareness, regulatory compliance and safe, responsible energy practices.

We are on Day four on the peer-to-peer learning exercise with @KRACorporate on legal enforcement, litigation management and consumer protection.

The engagement is expected to strengthen cooperation between the two regulators as they seek to improve legal practice, enforcement and compliance.
