Notably, starting from August 2, 2025, the export of Azerbaijani gas through Turkey to Syria was launched. At the first stage of the project, it is planned to export 1.2 bcm of natural gas per year to Syria. The gas is delivered through the Turkish city of Kilis to power plants in Aleppo and Homs and is used to generate electricity. As a result of this process, it is expected to achieve electric power generation capacity of 1,200-1,300 MW.
