Syria has faced severe electricity shortages, with citizens like Abdulrazak al-Jenan relying on solar panels due to limited state power. This situation stems from years of civil war impacting infrastructure. While solar solutions have emerged, the interim Energy Minister suggests that restoring energy networks is crucial for a sustainable power supply. Recent $146 million funding from the World Bank aims to repair damaged infrastructure. Furthermore, a $7 billion energy project involving external firms will develop gas turbines, enhancing electricity generation and aiding in future energy security.
Abdulrazak al-Jenan spent thousands on solar panels, as Syria provides only a few hours of electricity daily, forcing families into debt for energy solutions.
Recovery efforts focus on repairing war-damaged infrastructure, supported by a World Bank grant for $146 million to restore transmission lines and substations.
Syria aims to enhance its energy situation with a $7 billion deal for gas turbines, pivotal in meeting energy demands post-sanctions.
The interim Energy Minister emphasizes that the long-term solution is securing power through networks rather than relying solely on individual solar panels.
