Aleppo, SANA – Minister of Electricity Imad Khamis stressed that the ministry’s staffs will intensify efforts to repair damages and re-operate Aleppo Thermal Power Plant within a short time.
Khamis’ statements came during a tour on Monday to Aleppo Thermal Power Plant in the eastern countryside of the city after the Syrian Arab Army restored security and stability to it two ago.
The minister inspected the destruction and damage caused by the armed terrorist organizations to the Plant’s divisions and components.
He noted that the primary survey revealed that a systematic destruction of the Plant was conducted by intelligence apparatus and specialists involved in planning and preparing for the war waged against Syria.
Damaging turbines, generation units and infrastructure, rigging generators and detonating them, as well as stealing equipment and copper plates stress that those who committed these crimes are specialized ones and they are meant to cause destruction, Khamis added.
He said that setting a timetable for repairs and possibility of re-operating one of the plant’s turbines will be discussed after the technical team accomplishes its survey paper and evaluates the damage.
