Gas Shortage Risks Baghdad Generators
Iraq, especially Baghdad, is facing a crisis in supplying fuel for electrical generators after the summer season ended. The Ministry of Oil has reduced the allocated quotas of kerosene for generators from 40 to 20 liters per kilowatt, leading to delays and accumulated operational burdens on generator owners. The Baghdad Provincial Council is seeking to increase the designated share and strike a balance between need and providing adequate support to contractors, with the aim of preventing power outages, handling high loads, and addressing fluctuations in the hours of national electricity supply. The fuel shortage has resulted in many generators stopping or being decommissioned, while some are hesitant to buy commercial fuel due to high costs, further burdening citizens. The council also plans to coordinate with the Ministry of Oil and electricity departments to increase operating hours and facilitate fuel distribution, in addition to setting the official amperage price for October, which requires 15,000 dinars for premium generators and 10,000 for standard ones to ensure continued service.
