Governorate profile

Quneitra

A reference profile for Quneitra Governorate covering electricity networks, water and agricultural infrastructure, distributed solar energy and rehabilitation needs, while accounting for the governorate's geographic characteristics and access constraints in some areas. No major conventional power-generation plant is currently verified within the governorate; electricity-sector activity is concentrated on distribution-network rehabilitation, local transformers and voltage improvement. During 2026, irrigation networks, pumping stations and drinking-water infrastructure continued to be rehabilitated alongside the use of solar power for selected wells and water facilities.

Primary sectorAgricultural
IndustrialCommercialTransport and logistics

Quneitra's economy is primarily based on agriculture and livestock, including cereals, vegetables, fruit trees, cherries, mulberries, olives and cattle and sheep farming. Agriculture represents a major source of income and livelihoods and is closely linked to irrigation water, energy and agricultural infrastructure. Limited industrial and commercial activity is also present, including facilities in the Al-Halas industrial area. Agricultural development faces challenges related to production costs, market access, access to some farmland and damaged water infrastructure.

Context and analysis

Regional profile

Profile scope

The profile covers Quneitra Governorate within its administrative boundary while distinguishing areas subject to different access and security conditions from neighbouring southern governorates. Regional information is not assigned without an exact location.

Electricity and local infrastructure

Current sources do not provide a standardized series for supply hours, outages, or the condition of substations and lines in Quneitra. Future updates should rely on local inspection or utility data with a clear date and service boundary.

Distributed solar energy

Solar systems may be relevant for dispersed facilities, water, and communications, but the profile assumes no system count or capacity. Each system must be documented with location, owner, rating, condition, and source.

Services, access, and boundaries

Energy assessment should document health, water, road, and communication facilities affected by electricity loss or access constraints. Physical infrastructure damage must be separated from non-operation caused by security or administrative factors.

Data and action priorities

Priorities are a safe field survey of networks and facilities, an off-grid system inventory, identification of connections to neighbouring governorates, and a verification protocol that protects sensitive locations and data.

Data transparency
