The General Manager of the Public Electricity Generation Establishment, Engineer Mohammad Fadila, confirmed today, Thursday, that the generation stations are technically ready to receive Azerbaijani gas, after completing the maintenance work for the gas transmission networks and connecting with the Turkish side through the Kilis-Aleppo pipeline, which is 20 kilometers long.
In a statement to "SANA", Fadila pointed out that this project is not limited to improving the electrical situation only, but it carries important strategic, economic, and humanitarian dimensions in the context of reconstruction efforts and pushing the stability wheel.
In turn, the Director of the Public Electricity Transmission and Distribution Establishment, Engineer Khalid Abu Day, expected that this project would lead to an increase in the number of daily feeding hours in various Syrian governorates to about 10 hours, starting from next Saturday.
The Syrian Ministry of Energy announced yesterday, Wednesday, the official start of pumping Azerbaijani gas to Syria as of August 2, 2025, through the Kilis border pipeline connecting Turkish and Syrian territories, within a trilateral cooperation agreement between Syria, Turkey, and Azerbaijan.
Under the agreement, approximately 3.4 million cubic meters of gas will be supplied daily, earmarked for use in operating gas-fired generation stations, which will increase the electricity production capacity by an average of between 700 and 900 megawatts.
