Local Administration and Environment Authority of Gozarto Region in North and East Syria completes solar lighting project in Zalin (Qamishli)

ZALIN, Syria — In an effort to alleviate the power outages in Gozarto (Jazira) Region in North and East Syria, especially after the halting of power generation from the region’s dams as a result of Turkey’s reduction of the flow of the Euphrates River, the Local Administration and Environment Authority in Gozarto Region completed a solar lighting project in Zalin (Qamishli). The project was carried out in cooperation with the Kurdish Red Crescent and funded by the Spanish municipality of Barcelona.

The project set up a number of solar panels connected to streetlights on three major roadways and several important sub-streets.
