        Jieh, efficiency at under 30% Jieh will run on natural gas as a combined cycle or steam plant Construct gas infrastructure from Selaata southwards up to Zahrani with branch to Jieh   This project should precede construction of new Jieh power plant, but it may follow construction of new LNG plant at Selaata 5 3 $1,800   $198 $0.00 2.00% 20.00% 30.00 0.50% 30%   Medium 3                                                                                                              
            Construct gas infrastructure from Zahrani northwards up to Jieh   This project should precede construction of new Jieh power plant, and it should be executed only if the arrival of gas through the floating terminal or westwards from Damascus at Zahrani is imminent, and it won't be necessary if the project above is executed 5 2 $1,200   $36 $0.00 3.00% 20.00% 30.00 0.50% 20%   High 3

            Construction of new LNG terminal at location of new power plant, Selaata one likely location    This project is related to the timely arrival of natural gas at Deir Ammar (and onward to Selaata), and it should cater for all plants with natural gas, and its construction dictates the presence of the North-South gas infrastructure   4 2     $300 $0.00 5.00% 40.00% 30.00 20.00% 30%   High 2                                                                                                              
            Construction of gas infrastructure between Deir Ammar and Selaata   This project should precede construction of LNG terminal and power plant at Selaata, but it is justified even if LNG were not constructed, as it may be able to transmit gas in the southward direction through the Arab Line source 1 2 $1,200   $24 $0.00 2.00% 20.00% 30.00 0.50% 20%   Low 1

            Completion of gas infrastructure from the Syrian border westwards up to Zahrani   This project is dependent upon implementation of the gas infrastructure project in the Syrian territory and political developments, and it won't be necessary if the North-South gas infrastructure alternative is adopted 5 3 $1,500   $120 $0.00 3.00% 20.00% 30.00 2.00% 25%   High 3
