Executive Steps to Expand Using Renewable Energies Discussed

DAMASCUS- Under the chairmanship of Eng. Emad Khamis, the Prime Minister, a meeting was held at the Ministry of Electricity and discussed the executive steps of the state strategy to expand using renewable energy in all its forms.

The steps are focused on amending the legislation governing all renewable, solar and wind energies including manufacturing, production, investment, marketing and delivery within 15 days to be presented to the Cabinet for appropriate decision, as well as granting long term loans and incentives for the establishment of renewable energy production plants.

The steps include encouraging household holdings of renewable energies, reviving the solar heater loan, granting it to long-term citizens, developing the solar pump industry, and setting a plan for adopting solar energy in public bodies and schools and in the capacities used in agriculture such as pumps for agricultural wells and fuel stations.

The National Energy Research Center (NREC) was asked to develop a national strategy and incentives to expand the use of these energies and focus on the efficiency of the use of energies and revive the national plan for energy conservation and announce the launch of projects for partnership with the private sector in the field of renewable energies and attracting investors from home and abroad.

The Prime Minister stressed that the completion of a strategy for renewable energies is a major step to self-reliance and energy security in the face of the siege and sanctions on the Syrian people, pointing out the importance of its adoption to be a key input and contribute to secure the need of Syria’s energy in the future.

In a statement to reporters after the meeting, the Director General of the Energy Research Center at the Ministry of Electricity, Dr. Younis Ali said that during the meeting, the focus was on modifying the renewable energy legislation to be more flexible and encouraging the private sector to implement projects in this field.
