Function
Electricity generation from natural gas and solar energy
Key Feature
Large scale energy infrastructure investment integrating natural gas and solar power with total installed capacity of 5,000 MW.
Reaching total installed capacity of 5,000 MW, the project aims to strengthen the country's electricity generation infrastructure by combining natural gas and renewables within one investment. Gas fired plants are planned to enter service progressively within three years and the solar plant within two years. Once completed, annual generation of approximately 35 billion kWh is expected to meet a substantial share of Syria's energy needs.
