Syria has begun using natural gas from Jordan to generate electricity, its energy ministry announced Thursday. This move is a direct result of a new gas purchase agreement between the two nations.
The ministry stated on Telegram that Jordan will supply up to 4 million cubic meters of gas per day. This fuel will be used specifically in Syrian power plants.
The agreement is a significant step for Syria, which has suffered prolonged and widespread electricity shortages for over a decade. The deal follows a broader regional effort to reconnect Damascus with its neighbors.
Access to this steady fuel supply aims to increase the output of Syria's national power grid. The ministry stated the gas will help provide more stable electricity for citizens.
