Renewable Energy Consumption: Syria

Analysis# Syria Renewable Energy Consumption Syria's renewable energy consumption stood at 1.1% of total energy in 2021, representing a significant decline from its peak of 3.1% in 2013. The country's all-time low of 0.6% occurred in 2015. Since 1990, renewable energy consumption has fallen 54.2%, reflecting a long-term shift away from renewable sources toward conventional energy infrastructure. The sharp drop from 2013 to 2015 marks the most dramatic turning point in the data, with consumption plummeting from 3.1% to 0.6% in just two years. Recovery remained limited afterward, stabilizing around 1.0–1.1% from 2017 onward. This sustained low level suggests structural constraints in renewable energy deployment, with little indication of reversal in the near term.
