The Syrian Ministry of Energy announced on Monday that the decline in electricity supply hours is due to a decrease in the quantities of natural gas imported via Jordan and allocated for power generation plants, in addition to occasional disruptions in the flow.
In a statement, the ministry explained that these disruptions are a result of the current regional escalation, which has temporarily prevented the continuation of gas supplies according to previous agreements.
The ministry emphasized that the current circumstances stem from external factors, noting that technical teams are continuing to manage the electrical grid using available domestic gas production, while regulating supply hours according to available resources to ensure the stability and continuity of the network.
The ministry indicated that it is simultaneously working to enhance and increase domestic gas production, which will contribute to supporting the electrical grid and improving the supply situation in the coming period.
The ministry had announced on January 8th the commencement of natural gas deliveries for electricity generation in Syria, under an agreement to purchase 4 million cubic meters of gas daily from Jordan.
