List Of Petrol Stations Shut Down For Selling Adulterated Fuel

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) closed super petrol and diesel dispensing pumps of fuel stations selling adulterated and export-bound motor fuels in the local market during the first quarter of 2021.

The regulator also suspended services of repeat offenders for three months.

Pursuant to Section 92 of the Petroleum Act 2019, EPRA is mandated to monitor petroleum products offered for sale in the local market with the aim of preventing motor fuel adulteration and dumping of export-bound fuels.

During the January – March 2021 period, the Authority conducted 5,536 tests at 1,182 petroleum sites. From the tests, 98.99% were found to be compliant.

Twelve (12) sites were however found to be non-compliant. EPRA has acted against the twelve sites in accordance with Regulation 15 of the Energy (Retail Facility Construction and Licensing) Regulations, 2013.

Members of the public are encouraged to report suspected cases of petroleum products adulteration or export dumping through compliance@epra.go.ke, our hotline number 0708 000 444, the Authority’s USSD code (*363#), or the SMS service code (40850).
