Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2025, vol. 211, issue C

Abstract: The humanitarian crisis in Syria has severely impacted essential infrastructure, resulting in a significant energy deficit and scarcity of clean water. This study examines how renewable energy solutions, specifically solar photovoltaic systems, can ensure a reliable water supply in conflict-affected regions. The analysis draws on real-world data from the Syrian Water Resource Platform, which includes detailed operational and energy status information for 1328 water stations. Using simulation-based scenario analysis, the study evaluates the impact of renewable energy adoption on operational efficiency, energy costs, and greenhouse gas emissions.
