RETRIEVED AND READ 22 AUGUST 2026. It is the document Karam Shaar Advisory issue 9 hyperlinks for its '1,500 MW' claim about the Siemens work, so it is part of retrieval A2. WHAT IT SAYS ON ITS FACE: 'Deir Ali power station is an operating power station of at least 1500-megawatts (MW) in Deir Ali, Daraa, Syria with multiple units, SOME OF WHICH ARE NOT CURRENTLY OPERATING.' Unit-level table: CC1 operating, natural gas, 750 MW, combined cycle, start year 2009; CC2 operating, natural gas, 750 MW, combined cycle; and a third unit recorded as CC3-EXT. Coordinates 33.268416, 36.328777. THE FIGURES DO NOT AGREE WITH UNDP'S AND BOTH ARE ABOUT THE SAME PLANT. This entry gives 'at least 1500 MW'; SRC-328, the UNDP release of 11 February 2026, gives 'a total installed capacity of 1,450 MW' when fully operational. Fifty megawatts apart, and the qualifiers differ: 'at least' against 'when fully operational'. Neither is a measurement of what the plant is producing. TIER 4 AND NOT HIGHER: it is a curated open dataset with per-unit references, not a plant operator's or regulator's statement. Its own caution, that some units are not currently operating, is the installed-against-available distinction this chapter meets at SRC-319, SRC-312, SRC-324 and SRC-328. STATUS READ_IN_PART: the project summary, location table and unit-level details are read; the ownership tree, the methane plume section and the reference list are not.
