Syria's energy system is in ruins. To rebuild energy security the country's new government faces two major challenges. The first, vital for Syria's swift recovery and political stability, is bringing reliable flows of electricity and fuel to its people.

A quick outlook regarding Syria's energy resources and infrastructure, including the role of declining oil revenue under the Assad regime's governance and the prospects for, and geopolitical impact of, Syrian energy production and trade in a new era.
In the longer term, it should offer Syria a role in an interconnected Eastern Mediterranean energy hub with independent access to the EU market for gas and electricity. For more than a decade, Syrians have been coping with severe energy shortages. Years of war and division have crippled over 50% of the country's electricity grid.
