Energy Production

Data and analysis on energy production in Syria, separating nominal, available and operational capacity from actual generation and generation sources.

Production data scope

The page covers electricity and energy production by source, generating-asset status, operating constraints, and changes in capacity and output over time when comparable verified data series are available.

  • Installed or nominal capacity by technology or asset.
  • Available and operational capacity when reliable operating data exist.
  • Actual energy generation, generation mix and fuel- or grid-related constraints.

Core classification rule

Installed/Nominal Capacity, Available Capacity, Operational Capacity and Actual Generation are not used interchangeably. Each indicator represents a different state and should carry an appropriate unit, reference period and source.

Where sources conflict, the different values and plausible reasons for divergence are shown rather than selecting a single figure without evidence.

Capacity doubles, production declines — Renewable energy in Syria according to IRENA 2026 figures

Between 2016 and 2025, Syria's installed renewable energy capacity increased from 1,501 to 3,806 megawatts, ranking it fifth in the Arab world. However, production recorded in 2024 reached 862 gigawatt-hours, lower than the 2016 level. This gap between capacity and production is key to understanding the sector today.
