Profile scope
This profile covers Aleppo Governorate within its administrative boundary and distinguishes Aleppo city, the wider governorate, and national context. No capacity, project, or fuel volume is assigned to the governorate unless the source clearly identifies its location, status, and date.
Electricity and regional interconnection
Reuters reported on 4 May 2025 that Syria was working on electricity imports through a 400-kV line with Türkiye and on a gas pipeline from Kilis to Aleppo to supply power plants. These developments are recorded as announced regional interconnection plans, not as operational capacity or delivered supply until commissioning is documented.
Distributed energy and essential services
National evidence shows solar panels and batteries being used as coping solutions during weak grid supply, but no open and current Aleppo inventory was identified for system counts, capacity, or technical condition. The profile therefore prioritizes documenting systems in homes, industry, water, and health without converting qualitative observations into aggregate figures.
Rehabilitation and industrial loads
Assessment of the governorate must separate generation plants, substations, and transmission lines from local distribution conditions in neighbourhoods and industrial areas. Future records must include inspection date, owner, asset condition, and whether the asset is operational, offline, or under rehabilitation.
Data and action priorities
Priorities are a geospatial register of electricity assets and solar systems, verification of the Türkiye interconnection and announced gas pipeline, and documentation of industrial and public-service loads. These are research priorities, not confirmation that projects or new supplies have become operational.
Major generation assets and dams
The current reference baseline for Aleppo includes Aleppo Thermal Power Plant with a nominal capacity of 1,065 MW (workbook build year: 1993) and Tishreen Dam with a nominal hydropower capacity of 630 MW (1999). These are historical/nameplate reference values from the source workbook, not current available or operating capacity or actual generation in 2026.
