Egypt has signed two memoranda of understanding (MoU) with Syria to cooperate on supplying gas for power generation and meeting Syria’s petroleum product needs, Egypt’s petroleum ministry said on Monday.
It said Syria would receive gas through regasification ships or gas transportation networks, without providing details on quantities.
Due to the destruction of energy infrastructure during its 14-year civil war, Syria produces only a fraction of the electricity it needs, though the supply of power has improved notably in the past months thanks to gas supplies from Azerbaijan and Qatar.
