Profile scope
The profile covers energy and water assets located within Raqqa Governorate and their local effects, while separating dams and facilities in neighbouring governorates. Each record must state operator, technical condition, and any relevant control or handover date when these affect data reliability.
Electricity and networks
The open sources used in this phase do not provide a current series for supply hours, loads, or losses in Raqqa. National reporting on outages and generation shortages is therefore not used as a substitute for local operating data, and indicators remain unavailable.
Dams and hydropower
The governorate contains strategic water and hydropower infrastructure on the Euphrates, but the existence of an asset does not establish available capacity or actual generation. Publication requires updated data on operating units, flows, maintenance, and grid connection, separating nominal from operational capacity.
Irrigation and essential services
Energy for pumping, irrigation, and drinking water must be assessed alongside dam and network conditions because service continuity depends on multiple systems. Data from a single agricultural project or pumping station are not converted into a governorate-wide indicator.
Data and action priorities
Priorities are a technical register of dams and hydropower units, measurement of irrigation and pumping energy, documentation of damaged networks and substations, and assessment of solar options for agricultural and public facilities. These are research tracks, not announced capacities.
Major dams and hydropower assets
The current Raqqa reference baseline includes Tabqa (Al-Thawra) Dam with a nominal hydropower capacity of 824 MW (1973) and Baath Dam at 81 MW nominal capacity (1986). These are nominal/reference capacities and do not represent actual generation or available capacity in 2026.
