3 electricity and renewable energy agreements signed
The Saudi Ministry of Energy oversaw the signing of several memoranda of understanding (MOUs) between Saudi companies and the Public Establishment for Transmission and Distribution of Electricity (PETDE) in Syria. These agreements aimed to enhance cooperation in various energy sectors, develop vital projects that meet the region's needs, and support the stability of Syria's energy system.
One of the agreements involves the establishment of a wind power plant with a capacity of up to 200 megawatts, through a partnership between the PETDE and the Saudi Mohammed Ahmed Al-Harfi Contracting Company. This reflects the focus on renewable energy and promoting investments in this sector.
Another agreement includes the establishment of a photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 200 megawatts, providing diverse alternatives to increase energy production capacity in Syria. This opens the door for broader partnerships in the clean energy sector.
In the same context, an MOU was signed between the PETDE and the Saudi company Sakalco for the establishment of another photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of up to 100 megawatts. This will enhance energy source diversification and contribute to meeting the growing demand for energy in the future.
