The Syrian Electricity Company has so far fixed 107 power transmission centers in Syria's Aleppo province in 2020, state news agency SANA reported on Sunday.
Another 1,250 centers had been fixed in Aleppo between 2016 and 2019, said the report.
Citing Muhammad Saleh, the chief of the company, SANA said that fixing power stations continued despite all the difficulties and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic with the aim of doubling the electricity centers to feed the neighborhoods that had been freed from rebel groups.
The Syrian army captured former rebel-held areas in eastern Aleppo city in 2016. However, the eastern part of the city is largely in ruins with damaged infrastructure.
In 2019, the Syrian Electricity Ministry estimated the losses in the electricity sector in the county at 4 billion U.S. dollars since the beginning of the Syrian war in 2011.
