He added that this connection would increase the supplies of electrical power  in the southern region in general,.

Engineer Labib Maarouf, Head of the Stations Department in the Implementation Directorate of the General Corporation for the Transmission and Distribution of Electricity, explained that this cable connects the stations of Sheikh Miskin and Al-Koum, and it was started more than a month ago with limited capabilities as a result of the economic siege imposed on Syria.

Engineer Walid Al-Mustafa, Head of the Lines Division in the Daraa Operations Department, indicated that the department’s workshops have prepared all the work inside the stations, including protections, circuit breakers, and all cell requirements.

The Director General of the Electricity Company, Eng. Hani Masalmeh, stressed the importance of the cable in increasing the supplies of electricity in the governorates of Daraa and As-Suwayda, in addition to four other cables feeding Daraa governorate.
