In statements sent to Syrian media, the country’s Minister
of Electricity Ghassan Al-Zamil said that "The line is not ready, and we
have been working permanently and at a high pace to finish it since the first
day of the agreement."
He added that the cost of repairing Syria’s power grid side
is estimated at $5.5 million.
The project was announced in September amid an acute energy
shortage made worse by an ongoing financial crisis in the country.
Khasawneh
said that personnel only have to complete setting up the area’s “linking
process and supporting devices”.
Khasawneh
added that "The security situation is perfect, and about 2,000 people per
day will benefit from the movement of trade.”
