Governorate profile

Al-Hasakah

A reference profile for Al-Hasakah Governorate focused on oil and gas, local electricity, energy for water and agriculture, and environmental impacts of petroleum infrastructure. The current baseline includes Al-Swedieh Power Plant with a nominal capacity of 150 MW. The listed capacity is a reference figure and does not imply that the full capacity is currently available or operating.

Context and analysis

Regional profile

Profile scope

The profile covers energy assets located within Al-Hasakah Governorate and separates them from Deir ez-Zor and the wider northeast. Changes in administration or operation are recorded as governance changes and do not automatically demonstrate full production recovery.

Electricity and local services

The sources used do not provide a unified series for supply hours, load, or available generation capacity in Al-Hasakah. Future work must distinguish the public grid, field- and facility-linked generation, generators, and solar systems used by services and farms.

Oil and gas

Reporting in 2026 indicates renewed institutional attention to the Rmeilane and Suwaydiya fields in northeast Syria while also describing damaged infrastructure and extensive rehabilitation needs. Local production figures are not published until matched to operator data, reporting period, and measurement methodology.

Environmental and health impacts

The governorate requires a separate register of spills, flaring, informal wells, and affected soil and water, distinguishing documented incidents from estimates. Emissions or pollution quantities are not derived from narrative reporting without activity data and documented conversion factors.

Data and action priorities

Priorities include an inventory of fields, wells, facilities, and condition; measurement of energy used in pumping, processing, and water services; documentation of local networks; and an environmental baseline. Every record should identify owner, operator, and last verification date.

Major generation assets

The current reference baseline for Al-Hasakah includes Al-Swedieh Power Plant with a nominal capacity of 150 MW and a workbook build year of 1989. This is a nominal/reference value and does not represent current available capacity or actual operation in 2026.
