Yalda transfer station in the Damascus countryside put into service

Damascus countryside, (ST) – On the occasion of Labor Day, Prime Minister Engineer Hussein Arnous on Wednesday put the Yalda Transfer Station in the Damascus countryside into service, after rehabilitating it as a result of the damage it sustained due to terrorism.

The station has a capacity of 30 megavolt amperes, and its cost, including the connection lines with the Babila and Sayyida Zeinab substations, exceeded 70 billion Syrian pounds.

Placing the station in service will contribute to securing electrical supply to the areas of (Yalda – Babila – Sidi Qaddad – a section of Aqraba – Beit Sahm and a section of the Palestine Camp), and securing the ring connection to the Sayyida Zeinab substation.

In a statement to reporters after the opening of the station, Arnous said: Our workers celebrate their holiday with the workers of the world, and on this occasion we remember the great sacrifices made by Syrian workers in the face of terrorism to which our country has been exposed. On this day, our workers finished preparing the transfer station with their efforts and technical expertise.

The Prime Minister pointed out the importance of putting this project into service  is to improve the reality of electricity in this region, as part of a series of projects that are being implemented in this sector.
