Syria’s Energy Ministry has announced a contract with STE to build a 100 MW solar project
It will connect to the 230 kV grid in Hama Governorate and will target completion within 12 months
This move is aimed at strengthening Syria’s renewable capacity amid broader agreements for multi-GW solar and storage projects
The Government of Syria has announced a 100 MW solar power generation project in the country under a contract with the Syrian-Turkish Energy Company (STE).
The company signed a contract with the Public Establishment for Transmission and Distribution of Electricity to set up the project in the Kafr Buhum area of Hama Governorate. It will be connected to the high-voltage network at 230 kV and is estimated to take 12 months to be completed.
The agreement followed several months of work, involving the review of submitted proposals and the selection of the most suitable option based on efficiency and economic feasibility.
According to the government, the project will increase the country’s renewable energy capacity and contribute to curbing power outages.
This initiative aligns with a series of recent large-scale project announcements in Syria. UCC Holding has proposed a 1 GW solar power plant in the country. In July 2025, the Energy Ministry signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with US-based 20Solar Energy to develop 200 MW of solar PV capacity, including 100 MW of conventional solar and 100 MW of solar-plus-storage projects (see Syria Seeks Solar Energy; Ropes In US Company For 200 MW).
Recently, the Energy Ministry signed MoUs with Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power for up to 1 GW of solar and storage capacity development in the country.
