The Syrian government body responsible for electricity, oil, gas and renewable energy, and the counterparty to the generation, interconnection and upstream agreements signed since 2025.
The generation programme signed in November 2025 is usually described by its headline number. The more useful figure is its distribution: 4,000 MW of combined-cycle gas capacity concentrated at four existing plant sites, and 1,000 MW of solar spread across four others. Where the capacity lands determines which parts of the grid it can actually serve.
Turkey set a target of 900 MW of direct electricity exports to Syria by the first quarter of 2026, up from around 300 MW, on a line running from Birecik to Aleppo. Separately, Azerbaijani gas has crossed at Kilis since August 2025. One corridor delivers electricity that must be consumed the instant it arrives; the other delivers fuel that can be stored and burned on demand.
The Arab Gas Pipeline was built to carry Egyptian gas north through Jordan and Syria to Lebanon. Today Jordan imports LNG by sea, regasifies it, and pumps roughly 4 million cubic metres a day north into Syria under a January 2026 agreement worth around $800 million a year. The infrastructure did not change. The direction of dependence did.
Syria produced around 380,000 barrels a day before 2011 and between 50,000 and 80,000 by 2021. With Rmeilan and al-Suwaydiyah returning to central control, Wood Mackenzie expects production to begin recovering in 2026 — not from new drilling, but from workovers, artificial lift upgrades and surface facility repairs. The cheapest barrels are the ones already discovered.
