Lebanon, Syria and Jordan have reached a final deal to transfer electricity to Lebanon which is suffering an acute energy crisis.

Jordan and Syria have an electricity connection via a 400 kV transmission line established in 2001, but it has been out of service since 2012 for technical reasons.

Meanwhile, Syria has interconnection lines with Lebanon by transmission lines of 400 kV, 230 kV, and 66 kV.
