Kenya’s appetite for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) showed consistent growth during the latter half of 2025, demonstrating increasing preference for cleaner cooking options.
According to Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority figures, consumption rose from 41,525.56 metric tonnes in July to 42,539.38 metric tonnes by December, representing a total increase of 14.59 percent across this timeframe.
The data reveals fairly consistent monthly demand patterns, with minor variations recorded in September, October and November before an uptick in December.
August witnessed peak consumption at 42,708.44 metric tonnes, indicating continued acceptance by both residential and commercial users.
Kenya maintains significant dependency on imports to fulfill LPG requirements, with Mombasa and Kilifi serving as primary maritime entry points, while Namanga, Isebania and Lunga Lunga function as key land corridors.
This steady expansion reflects continued initiatives to encourage clean energy adoption, diminish dependency on biomass fuels, and enhance accessibility to reasonably priced cooking solutions nationwide.
