The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity has denied reports of any increase in electricity tariffs, describing circulating claims as false and misleading.
The ministry said the current tariff remains fully subsidised and unchanged, with the residential rate set at IQD 10 per kilowatt-hour (approximately USD 0.008).
It added that the state continues to cover more than 65% of electricity production costs to ensure power is supplied to citizens at the lowest possible cost.
