The Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD) has launched the second phase of electric power support, with a capacity of 800 megawatts, in line with the directives of HH Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.
This initiative comes as part of the collaboration between the QFFD and the Syrian Ministry of Energy. The electric power support marks a continuation of the State of Qatar’s ongoing efforts to assist the Syrian Arab Republic in strengthening its electricity sector.
The second phase will begin on August 2, 2025, and will last for a full year, providing electricity supplies routed through Azerbaijan and Türkiye to the Syrian Arab Republic. The power supplies will be received starting at the Aleppo power station and will be distributed across various cities and neighborhoods in Syria.
This support will help increase electricity supply to 5 hours per day, representing a 40 percent daily improvement for more than 5 million subscribers in Syria. The power support will also enhance energy sustainability in commercial areas, factories, and Utilities.
The first phase of the electric power support project, which has been implemented with a capacity of 400 megawatts, has significantly contributed to stabilization of the power grid, thus supporting the industrial sector, and increasing operating hours in vital areas from 16 to 24 hours per day.
Altogether, the total contributions of QFFD to the electricity sector in the Syrian Arab Republic have reached over $760 million, reaffirming the State of Qatar’s steadfast commitment to supporting the Syrian people and strengthening vital infrastructure to ensure a safe and dignified life for citizens.
