Shafaq reports household budget pressure from Iraq's grid and generator bills

Economist Mohammed Al-Hasani told Shafaq that combined grid and private-generator electricity costs can absorb about 10% of household income, particularly in summer. The report includes household accounts of high bills and an operator's explanation of fuel and maintenance costs. These interviews describe financial pressure, not a nationally representative household survey.

Al-Hasani provides the cost estimate; customers and an operator give differing explanations for expensive bills. Their accounts are interviews, not independently audited billing data. No independent corroboration or representative sampling was established, so the estimate must not be read as a measured national average. The exact timestamp is publication, not the onset of an ongoing cost burden.
