LPG consumption in Kenya up 14.7pc to 476,000 tonnes on product zero-rating
The report attributes the growth partly to the zero-rating of LPG, saying the tax intervention improved affordability and encouraged wider adoption.
Nairobi, Kenya - LPG consumption in Kenya increased by 14.72 percent in 2025, according to the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) Energy & Petroleum Statistics Report for the year ended June 30, 2026. The demand for LPG rose to 475,943 metric tonnes in 2025, up from 414,861 metric tonnes in 2024. This growth in consumption, attributed to several factors, brought per capita LPG consumption to 8.9 kilograms in 2025, compared to 7.9 kilograms in 2024.
The EPRA report highlights the zero-rating of LPG as a key driver of the increase, as it improved affordability and encouraged wider adoption among households and institutions. Additionally, the expansion of importation, storage, and distribution infrastructure, along with improved product availability, have made LPG more accessible to consumers.
The government expects LPG demand to continue growing as it implements the National LPG Growth Strategy, which aims to accelerate adoption in households and institutions.
