According to the International Energy Agency in 2022 almost all electricity was generated from oil and fossil gas, like energy in Syria. Syria's energy system is in ruins. Years of war left the grid fragmented, with nearly half of high-voltage transmission towers damaged, destroyed, or stolen, and generation capacity reduced to around 2,200 MW, less than half of.
