Off-Grid Solar Challenges Iraq's Diesel Generator Economy
Original: How Off-Grid Solar Is Challenging Iraq’s Diesel Generator Economy
Iraq's households have long depended on neighbourhood diesel generators to fill gaps left by an unreliable national grid, a costly and polluting parallel economy. Off-grid solar systems are now emerging as a competitor, offering cheaper and cleaner electricity. Discussion centres on whether this shift could loosen the generators' grip and reshape how Iraqis power their homes.
Why now: Rising interest in solar as a cheaper alternative to Iraq's entrenched diesel generator business.
