The Ministry of Electricity (Arabic: وزارة الكهرباء) was a department of the Government of Syria.[1] The ministry was responsible for managing the electric energy and renewable energy sector in Syria,[clarification needed] and a number of governmental institutions and companies were affiliated to it. On 29 March 2025, as a result of the formation of the Syrian transitional government, the Ministry of Electricity, the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources were replaced by and merged into the Ministry of Energy.[2][3][4][5][6]
In Syria, the production of electricity has been entirely nationalized. By the end of the 1990s, the Ministry of Electricity managed 74,9% of the production of electricity nationwide. The country was planning to become self-sufficient in electricity supply by 1998.[7] For this reason, the Ministry never seriously considered renewable energies because they take a longer time to deploy. By 2010, the government encouraged private investors to develop the electric capacity of the country, but the war broke out.[8]
In November 2021, the Ministry of Electricity annulled dozens of renewable energy licences.[9]
