Syria — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 82 energy assets in Syria across 7 layers — the 68th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 41 power plants, 24 oil & gas fields and 10 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 8.9 GW, led by gas at 75%. Refining capacity is about 240 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Public Establishment of Electricity Generation (26), Syrian Petroleum (5) and UCC Holding Consortium (4), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Syria's mapped assets in service predate 1997 (median commissioning year of the 24 with a known date), 1 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Eppeh Cement Plant, dating from 1977. 29 projects are under construction or proposed, led by North Aleppo Combined Cycle power station (1.2 GW).
