Mapna, Irans largest energy construction company, issued a statement on Sunday refuting claims from a Reuters article published the previous day.
The company did not name Reuters directly but said the allegations were ambiguous and in some cases incorrect.
According to Mapna, it completed three phases of a major power plant in Syrias Latakia and was nearing the final phase when the project was interrupted due to the fall of the Syrian government in December last year.
It rejected claims that its projects in Syria lacked transparency, particularly in financial matters. Mapna said all projects were executed under official contracts within the legal frameworks of both countries.
The company noted that Syrias previous government had fully paid for completed work and had partially paid for projects still underway before December.
Mapna also dismissed claims of employing underqualified Iranian and Syrian personnel. It stated that its policy was to prioritize hiring from the Syrian labor force and to transfer expertise and technology to local workers.
Mapna entered Syria in 2008, three years before the outbreak of war, and said that the projects executed by the group were responsible for more than 50% of Syrias electricity supply.
