Turkey to Send Specialists to Syria to Address Energy Issues
World
Turkey’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alparslan Bayraktar, announced that a delegation from the Ministry of Energy will visit Syria in the coming days to conduct research on electricity and energy infrastructure. This statement was made following a Cabinet meeting.
Bayraktar emphasized that the main issue in Syria is the provision of electricity, and measures will be developed to address this problem.
The delegation will include experts from Turkey’s state-owned companies, including the Electricity Generation Company (EUAS) and the Electricity Transmission Corporation (TEIAS). They will examine Syria’s energy infrastructure, which has been severely damaged by years of war and sanctions.
The experts will focus on energy production, as well as transmission and distribution lines, to identify shortcomings in Syria’s energy system. A comprehensive report outlining the necessary steps to resolve existing issues will be prepared based on their findings.
Additionally, the Turkish energy minister noted that the Lebanese government is also interested in collaborating with Turkey on energy projects, including the potential import of electricity. These plans depend on Ankara’s ability to restore power lines connecting Turkey and Syria and extend them to Lebanon.
In Syria, power outages remain a critical issue, even in major cities such as Damascus and Aleppo. The new Syrian government, formed after the fall of the Assad regime, is seeking relief from Western sanctions to rebuild its energy sector.
