Iraq Cuts Diesel Price for Private Generator Operators

By John Lee.

Iraq's Council of Ministers has approved a scheme to supply private generator owners with gas oil at a subsidised price of IQD 200 per litre (approximately $0.15), down from IQD 400 per litre ($0.31), for the next three months.

Under the scheme, operators will receive 40 litres per month for each KVA of production capacity. Total supply under the programme is expected to reach 1.357 billion litres (approximately 358 million US gallons).

Joint committees comprising representatives from provincial councils, the National Security Service, and the Ministry of Electricity will be formed to oversee implementation.
