New strategy for fuel crisis solutions
The Syrian Ministry of Energy has announced a new plan to address the rising fuel prices and ensure the availability of petroleum products in the domestic market, following popular protests triggered by the recent fuel price hike. The plan includes diversifying types and prices of diesel fuel, restarting domestic refineries, and directing support to eligible categories and sectors, with the aim of easing burdens and guaranteeing fuel supplies. It also involves operating the Baniyas refinery and several thermal power plants at a combined capacity of up to 130,000 barrels per day, along with providing different kinds of diesel at prices ranging from 115 to 175 Syrian pounds, depending on the use. The goal is to improve price stability, even though the current cost per liter of diesel reaches 206 pounds amid global circumstances that have increased costs. The ministry links the restart of refineries to crisis alleviation and supports small facilities known as "haraqats," which produce locally-refined petroleum derivatives to help reduce dependence on imports and lower prices.
