Electricity generation from low-carbon sources in Syria, 2000–2024
Source: Ember (2026) and other sources – with major processing by Our World in Data. Measured in terawatt-hours.
Analysis
Syria recorded 0.88 terawatt-hours for electricity generation from low-carbon sources in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 62.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, electricity generation from low-carbon sources in Syria peaked at 4.35 terawatt-hours in 2005 and was at its lowest, 0.44 terawatt-hours, in 2015.
That places Syria 128th out of 209 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
