Al-Zara Power Plant, located in Hama, is undergoing critical maintenance on its second steam unit to restore its full generating capacity, after output dropped to just 145 megawatts.
The Ministry of Energy announced that engineering and technical teams, in collaboration with the Saudi company “Energy Care,” are conducting annual maintenance to return the unit to its full capacity of 217 megawatts. The plant, which has a total capacity of 660 megawatts across three units, is a key contributor to Syria’s national electricity grid.
Mohammad Fadila, Director of the General Electricity Generation Corporation, visited the site to monitor progress. He emphasized the importance of completing repairs by mid-December to ensure the unit is restored to full capacity, which will help stabilize the national power supply.
Al-Zara is one of Syria’s largest steam-powered plants, with each unit generating 217 megawatts. It plays a critical role in meeting the country’s electricity needs.
This maintenance is part of ongoing efforts to improve the plant’s performance and reliability, ensuring a stable electricity supply and improved operational efficiency in the months ahead.
