Islamic Republic of Iran plays an important role in the reconstruction, repair and maintenance of a number of these power plants. played thermal Iran is also attracting support for the renewable energy sector in Syria, which is considered an alternative option to help increase the production capacity of the electricity grid. The Aleppo thermal power plant, which was put into operation after reconstruction with the cooperation of Syria and Iran, and the Al-Rastin power plant in Latakia, are two projects that the first power plant added about 500 megawatts to the production capacity of the Syrian power grid. Elrestin power plant will also add another 500 megawatts to this production capacity. This shows the real growth and improvement for the electricity situation in Syria. //newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1403/01/06/14030106122016586296707410.png”/>
