Iraq's reliance on private power generators has become essential for residents to cope with frequent power outages, especially during the scorching summer months. These generators, ubiquitous across Iraqi cities, provide a vital source of electricity for homes and businesses. However, this dependence comes at a significant cost. The generators contribute heavily to air and noise pollution, posing environmental and health risks. Furthermore, the cost of fuel and maintenance places a financial burden on many Iraqis. The situation highlights the urgent need for sustainable solutions to Iraq's power infrastructure problems.
