# Ministry of Electricity (Syria)

The Ministry of Electricity (Arabic: وزارة الكهرباء) is a department of the Government of Syria. The ministry is responsible for managing the electric energy and renewable energy sector in Syria, and a number of governmental institutions and companies are affiliated to it.
In Syria, the production of electricity has been entirely nationalized. By the end of the 1990s, the Ministry of Electricity managed 74,9% of the production of electricity nationwide. The country was planning to become self-sufficient in electricity supply by 1998. For this reason, the Ministry never seriously considered renewable energies Because they take a longer time to deploy. By 2010, the government encouraged private investors to develop the electric capacity of the country, but the war broke out.
In November 2021, the Ministry of Electricity annulled dozens of renewable energy licences.

vte :
Petty and grand corruption is a growing problem within Morocco. A leaked report by a US diplomat stated in 2009 that corruption had become much more institutionalized under King Mohammed VI, and that the royal family had been using public institutions to coerce and solicit bribes.
On Transparency International's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index, Morocco scored 37 on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean"). When ranked by score, Morocco ranked 99th among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector. For comparison with regional scores, the average score among Middle Eastern and North African countries was 39. The highest score among Middle Eastern and North African countries was 68 and the lowest score was 12. For comparison with worldwide scores, the average score was 43, the best score was 90 (ranked 1), and the worst score was 8 (ranked 180).
Corruption is also identified by businesses as a large obstacle for investment in Morocco. Public procurement is an area with a high level of corruption, and government contracts are often awarded to well-connected companies. Corruption committed by highly influential persons is rarely prosecuted.
