Overview of Unitary Pricing in Botswana
The Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA) implemented unitary pricing for petroleum products effective November 8, 2025 (midnight Saturday). This replaces the previous zonal pricing system, where fuel prices varied by geographic zone to account for differences in transport and distribution costs (lower in urban areas like Gaborone, higher in remote rural zones). Under unitary pricing, a single national retail pump price applies to each product across all locations, regardless of region.
