BERA standardises fuel costs across Botswana

Botswana Adopts Uniform Fuel Pricing

Botswana has introduced a standardized national pump price for fuel, a significant shift from its previous system of varying regional costs. The Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA) implemented this new policy on November 8, 2025. This change streamlines fuel costs for consumers across the country.

Impact on Motorists and Businesses

Previously, fuel prices could differ based on geographic location, leading to disparities for motorists and businesses. The move to a single national price aims to create a more equitable economic environment for fuel consumption throughout Botswana.

BERA’s Role in Fuel Regulation

BERA, the country’s energy regulatory body, is responsible for overseeing this new pricing structure. This reform represents one of the most substantial updates to Botswana’s fuel pricing framework in recent years.
