Minister reports improvement
Syria's Minister of Energy, Mohammad al-Bashir, said on Wednesday 22 April 2026 that the return of gas deliveries via Jordan, ongoing maintenance work, and balanced electricity use have together supported a clear improvement and stabilization of the national grid across most of the country.
The minister has tied the shift to a coordinated push on both supply-side fuel inputs and grid maintenance rather than to a single infrastructure project.
Twenty-four-hour supply
In a post on his X account the same day, the minister said: "We are beginning to see a noticeable improvement in the electricity situation in most governorates, with supply in some areas reaching 24 uninterrupted hours for the first time in years."
He added that the improvement has not yet reached every region and that crews are working continuously to repair faults at transformer stations and along transmission lines.
Jordanian gas link
The Ministry of Energy said on 8 January 2026 that it had begun receiving natural gas through the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan at a rate of 4 million cubic meters per day, channeled into electricity generation.
That inbound flow, combined with stepped-up maintenance at substations and lines, is credited by the ministry with stabilizing generation after years in which rolling blackouts tracked the pace of fuel shortages.
Scope of the announcement
The minister did not specify how many governorates are currently receiving uninterrupted supply, nor did he name the areas where 24-hour service has been recorded.
Expansion of coverage and further repair work were described as ongoing, with the minister framing the current picture as a stage rather than a final result.
What remains unresolved
The statement focused on gas and maintenance and did not address other fuel arrangements for power plants, broader transmission investment, or tariff policy. The minister framed the current improvement as a stage in an ongoing effort rather than a completed restoration of the grid, and no timeline was given for extending 24-hour supply beyond the areas referenced in the post.
