EPRA Kenya- Portal, Online Services, Register, Login

Many may wonder and ask themselves, “What is EPRA?” If you are one of those individuals, then worry no more, as this article will educate you about what EPRA is, what it does, and how to access EPRA Services.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) was created under the Energy Act of 2019. Its main mandate is to deal with the regulation of upstream petroleum and coal.

To ease access to services, EPRA has created a portal through which any Kenya gets information concerning the authority and access to other services which EPRA provides. An example of such services includes the application for a license on the online licensing portal. Let’s get started.
