The projects combine solar generation with battery energy storage systems.
Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed Ahmed Al-Harfi Co., under the supervision of the Saudi Ministry of Energy, has signed three power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the Syrian Electricity Company, along with two technical cooperation agreements with Saudi Electricity Project Development Co. (PDC) and Germany’s Siemens Energy. 
The agreements were signed on August 5, 2026, in Damascus as part of Al-Harfi’s plan to develop three solar power projects in the Widyan Al-Rabie area of Rif Dimashq, SPA reported.
The projects will have a combined generation capacity of 760 MW and will be integrated with battery energy storage systems (BESS) totaling 1,077 MWh. The PPAs have terms ranging from 20 to 25 years, with tariffs starting at $0.03 per kilowatt-hour.
Under the technical cooperation agreement with PDC, the company will provide specialized engineering and advisory services to support the management and execution of Al-Harfi’s projects.
The agreement with Siemens Energy covers technical cooperation and the transfer of expertise in the fields of primary substations, power generation, and energy storage systems.
The two technical cooperation agreements are intended to support project implementation in accordance with technical standards while strengthening coordination and cooperation among the participating parties and the Syrian side.
In February, PDC signed a framework agreement with the Syrian side to provide technical and engineering services for energy projects, while Siemens Energy signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Syria’s Ministry of Energy to develop a grid control and operation system for the Syrian electricity network.
The agreements formed part of broader efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation and economic partnership between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Syrian Arab Republic, support energy infrastructure projects, and advance sustainable development objectives in Syria.
