Institutional specificities and energy policies
We can summarize the main points in energy policies as follows:
Giving long-term loans to purchase efficient appliances.
Giving non-interest loans to purchase efficient appliances.
Reducing taxes and the charge dues.
Repaying rate of costs.
Sealing energy efficient appliances by soft installment plan.
Securing suitable financing & funds, for private individual engineering offices (ESCOs

Electricity Access
ENE_C10: Share of the population with no access to electrification
The share of the population with access to electrification for the whole country equals 99,7%
of the total population; the population with no access to electrification equals 0,3%, all of
them are small villages and individual farms.
The main problem facing the electricity sector is the average population annual growth rate
which equals 2.45%, which mean an annual increment of electricity demand, besides the
electricity low prices due to the government subsidies.
Evolution and structure of the energy demand and production
Security of Energy Supply
Syrian energy policy takes into consideration the following matters:
To expand the gas usage.
To sustain the oil production.
To develop the country’s power capacity.
To promote the energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy resources.
