However, unforeseen challenges\u2014including gradual gas pumping, extreme summer heat, and reduced generator efficiency\u2014prevented the plan from being implemented, causing public disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that Syria\u2019s electricity grid remains in a fragile state, requiring extensive repairs and upgrades to enhance performance and ensure future stability. Abu Di also confirmed that turbines currently out of service are expected to resume operations within the next two days, which should pave the way for extended electricity supply once the full Azerbaijani gas flow is utilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the full gas volume is now available, Abu Di explained that generation efficiency remains heavily influenced by weather conditions, particularly high temperatures that affect turbine performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He emphasized that Syria\u2019s electricity infrastructure remains capable of transmitting up to 7,000 megawatts, while generation capacity stands at about 5,000 megawatts. The key challenge, he said, lies in securing sufficient gas supplies to bridge the gap and stabilize the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Norman al-Abbas<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Director of the Electricity Transmission and Distribution Corporation of Syrian transitional government, Khaled Abu Di, told North Press on Tuesday that the Ministry of Energy is working to purchase an additional 2.6 million cubic meters of gas.
