EPRA Welcomes Asharami’s KSh Billions LPG Storage Investment in Mombasa

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has welcomed a major investment in Kenya’s liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) infrastructure following the groundbreaking ceremony for Asharami’s 30,000-metric-tonne storage facility in Mombasa.

In a statement shared on its official X account, EPRA Director General said he joined Petroleum Principal Secretary Kello Harsama and other industry stakeholders for the groundbreaking ceremony at the Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited (KPRL) site.

The facility is expected to strengthen Kenya’s LPG supply chain at a time when demand for cleaner cooking solutions continues to grow.

Once operational, the storage facility is expected to improve supply reliability, increase competition among LPG players and expand access to cooking gas for households and businesses.

EPRA noted that the facility will operate as a common-user infrastructure, allowing wider access to bulk LPG storage and supporting a more competitive and resilient market.

The authority further pledged to ensure the investment delivers tangible benefits to consumers, including reliable supplies, improved access, consumer protection and adherence to the highest safety standards.

EPRA said it welcomes investments that strengthen Kenya’s energy security and support the country’s clean cooking ambitions.
