How much does it cost to run a diesel generator?

The cost of running a diesel generator can vary depending on various factors such as the size and efficiency of the generator, the price of diesel fuel, and the duration and frequency of usage. On average, diesel generators consume about 0.5 to 1 gallon of diesel fuel per hour for every kilowatt (kW) of power produced. To calculate the cost, you would need to know the current price of diesel fuel, the generator's fuel consumption rate, and the number of hours the generator will be running. By multiplying these factors together, you can determine the approximate cost of running a diesel generator.
