The Syrian Ministry of Energy: Electricity cuts from all over Syria – the seventh day

The Syrian Ministry of Energy announced that the electrical current was cut throughout the country on Tuesday as a result of several technical breakdowns in the national network, pointing out that work is underway to address the problem.

A spokesman for the Syrian Ministry of Energy said in statements to “Reuters”: “Syria has witnessed a blackout throughout the country on Tuesday evening due to breakdowns in several points in the national network.”

The spokesman confirmed that “the technical teams are working to address problems.”

For his part, the director of the General Corporation for the Transmission and Distribution of Electricity, Khaled Abu De, stated that the electrical current was cut off all over Syria due to a technical defect, “noting that” work is underway to restore electricity and repair the defect. “

He explained that “the defect was due to the departure of the Aleppo generation station from service, which led to the exit of all the generation stations in a row,” noting that “the re -take -off of the stations need several hours, after which stability will return to all cities.”

It is noteworthy that Syria suffers from a suffocating crisis in the field of electric energy, as a result of the absence of the necessary maintenance for stations, networks and the severe shortage of fuel and gas, due to the international sanctions imposed on them, which affects the ability of the stations to work efficiently.

In addition to the grave damage to these networks, the 14 years of the devastating war.

The electricity sector is a major challenge to the country, which is striving to rebuild its economy after many years of destruction.
