The Syrian government and the Saudi energy group ACWA Power have signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to explore the development of approximately 2.5 GW of solar and wind capacity in Syria. Under the agreement, ACWA Power will collaborate with Syria's government to identify suitable locations for the planned projects, which aim to deliver around 1 GW of solar PV capacity and approximately 1.5 GW of wind power. Grid-scale energy storage solutions are also being considered to improve system reliability and flexibility.

In June 2025, Syria signed a US$7bn agreement with a consortium from Qatar, Turkey, and the United States to rebuild its power sector, including four gas-fired power plants and a 1 GW solar park. The project is expected to add 5 GW of capacity, covering nearly half of current electricity demand and marking a key step in post-conflict recovery.

Syria’s power system has faced extensive damage since the outbreak of the war in 2011, with ongoing fuel shortages further limiting generation. As of the end of 2023, available capacity was estimated at just 1.6 GW, despite a nominal installed capacity of 9.6 GW.
