In line with the directives of HH The Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and as a continuation of Qatar’s efforts to support Syria, the Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD) launched the second phase of electricity support, with a capacity of 800 megawatts.

The initiative comes as part of the collaboration between QFFD and the Syrian Ministry of Energy. The second phase will begin on August 2 and will last for a full year, providing power supplies routed through Azerbaijan and Turkiye to the Syrian Arab Republic.

The supplies will be received starting at the Aleppo power station and will be distributed across various cities and neighbourhoods in Syria.

This support will help increase electricity supply to five hours per day, representing a 40% daily improvement for more than five million subscribers in Syria. It will also enhance energy sustainability in commercial areas, factories, and Utilities.

The first phase of the project, implemented with a capacity of 400MW, significantly contributed to stabilizing the power grid, supporting the industrial sector, and increasing operating hours in vital areas from 16 to 24 hours per day.

Thus, the total contributions of QFFD to the electricity sector in Syria have reached over $760m, reaffirming Qatar’s steadfast commitment to supporting the brotherly Syrian people and strengthening vital infrastructure to ensure a safe and dignified life for citizens.
