Summer Electricity Crisis Renewed Amid Demands for Increased Government Subsidy for Private Generator Fuel

 The private electricity sector in the capital is witnessing growing controversy between citizens and generator owners, coinciding with preparations to announce the monthly consumption pricing. In an effort to contain the crisis, government authorities have approved a plan to provide subsidized fuel to generator owners at reduced prices to alleviate summer operational burdens. However, statistics indicate that a large percentage of generators are not officially registered to receive this subsidy, which negatively impacts the final pricing for citizens. While generator owner associations are demanding increased quotas or free fuel during peak months, the Ministry of Oil affirms its ongoing commitment to providing fuel according to approved mechanisms to ensure supply stability.
