Homs-Sana
About a month after the launch of an investment project to produce electricity from solar energy in the industrial city of Hasya in the countryside of Homs, this project produced 120 megawatt-hours of electricity from the plant, which is the largest for generating electricity from solar energy in the province.
Muhammad Iyad Qalfoni, the project manager, indicated in a statement to SANA reporter that the investment project belongs to the investor Tamim Talib and was implemented by the Qalfoni Company. It includes 1,944 panels, each panel’s capacity is 540 watts, connected to 18 inverters, each one has a capacity of 50 kilowatts, as the smart device secures the harmonic between the inverters connected in turn to the Sub-cutters and then main to the transformer, which in turn pumps on the general electricity network.
Qalfoni pointed out the importance of this project, as the daily production is between 5 to 6 megawatt-hours throughout the year, according to the appropriate climatic conditions between summer and winter, indicating that a project was implemented with national expertise and in record time within 35 days.
Dr. Bassam Al-Mansour, director of the industrial city of Hisya, pointed out that a number of investors contracted with the General Electricity Company in Homs to produce electricity from alternative energies, whether solar or wind, pointing to the importance of renewable energies as the destination of economic and industrial activities in the world as an alternative to traditional fossil energy.
Engineer Bassam Al-Youssef, Director of Planning and Statistics at Homs Electricity Company, indicated that this station is considered the largest station for generating electricity from solar energy in Homs governorate, where the amount of electricity it injects into the network annually reaches about 1825000 kilowatts if it works for 5 hours per day and can increase with an increase The number of hours of daily solar brightness, indicating that this station was connected by a 1000 kV transformer.

Al-Yousef pointed out that this area has high solar brightness, and the General Electricity Company of Homs has recently received several requests to invest in solar energy, amounting to about 46 megawatts, of which at least 25 will be operated during the second half of this year.
Head of the Energy Conservation Department at the General Electricity Company of Homs, Eng. Laila Al-Qusayr, pointed out that the importance of the “solar” renewable energy projects that are connected with the public electricity network lies in their contribution to the stability of the electrical system because they are small capacities relative to the required load, as they are environmentally friendly and reduce polluting carbon emissions. She indicated that the roofs of the hangars in the industrial city of Hasya were made use of and the panels were installed on them, which reduced costs.
Al-Qusair explained that the breakdowns of solar energy systems are very few, they do not need permanent maintenance, and their life span reaches 25 years, so it is considered one of the successful investments in the field of energy.
The industrial city of Hasya has allocated about 855 hectares in its expansion lands to establish projects for the production and generation of electric power using renewable energies “wind, sun” or any other projects for the production and generation of electric power in accordance with the applicable laws.
