Syria, Damascus: The World Bank has approved a $146 million grant to help Syria restore reliable and affordable electricity and support its economic recovery, according to a statement on Wednesday. After 14 years of war, the country’s electricity infrastructure has suffered severe damage to grids and power stations, causing persistent fuel shortages. The grant is set to support strategic projects, including linking the electricity grids between Syria and Turkey, and Syria and Jordan, and bolstering energy security, Syrian Energy Minister Mohammed al-Bashir said.
