Syria’s energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, with over 95% of electricity generated from oil and natural gas as of 2022. The sector, severely impacted by conflict, relies on declining domestic production and imports, with limited, yet growing, contributions from hydropower and solar power.

Syria is gradually exploring renewable energy to diversify its power sector, with recent initiatives focusing on solar and wind, laying a foundation for potential future green hydrogen production. Key developments include a 100 MW solar plant in Damascus and agreements for 500 MW of renewable energy projects.
