Al-Nasiriya and Deir Ali Plants Back Online
The Syrian Electricity Company, the state utility responsible for power generation and distribution in Syria, announced the return of the Al-Nasiriya and Deir Ali power plants to service after the gas supplies required to operate them were restored. Both plants rely on natural gas as their primary fuel, which ties their output directly to the availability of gas feed lines.
The announcement did not specify which areas would benefit from the improved supply, nor was a new electricity rationing schedule issued alongside it.
Tishreen Plant Still Offline
In contrast, the company stated that the Tishreen power plant remains out of service. The announcement gave no timeline for its return and no detailed reasons for its continued shutdown, meaning Syria's total generation capacity has not yet fully recovered.
What This Means for Consumers
In theory, any plant returning to service adds available capacity to Syria's strained national grid, where households have long faced scheduled power cuts. However, the official statement did not identify the regions that will see improvement or quantify the expected change in supply hours.
Consumers are advised to follow subsequent announcements from the Syrian Electricity Company, since the actual distribution of any improvement depends on the rationing schedules issued by the authorities.
