Cayman Islands Extends Fuel Relief Program Through December

CAYMAN ISLANDS – The Cayman Islands government has extended its 2026 Fuel Relief Programme through December, maintaining fuel duty waivers and residential electricity assistance as global energy prices remain volatile.

The three-month extension runs from October 1 through December 31 and includes a 100% waiver of import duties on gasoline, diesel and propane.

Cabinet has also approved an additional CI$3 million for the Electricity Assistance Programme, which caps residential electricity fuel charges at 18 cents per kilowatt-hour for nearly 95% of households across the Cayman Islands.

The government said it cannot control global fuel prices but can reduce their impact on electricity, transportation and household budgets.
