How secure is Malta's energy supply?

The security of Malta’s energy supply is a key area of focus for us. Being a small island, Malta has a small electricity supply system and only a single electricity supplier (Enemalta plc) and depends heavily on imported energy sources. Malta also has no natural gas pipeline interconnection with neighbouring countries.

How has Malta changed its energy mix?

In recent years, Malta has transformed its energy mix used for electricity generation from one based on heavy fuel oil and gasoil to a more sustainable combination of natural gas, electricity imports via the Malta-Italy subsea connection, and increased use of renewable energy sources.

What is Ewa's vision for Malta's power sector?

EWA’s vision for Malta’s power sector foresees sustained growth of generation from renewable sources, powered by indigenous onshore solar PV installations, large-scale offshore renewable technologies, such as floating wind and solar, and green energy imported over interconnections with neighbouring countries.

Could bio-methane be a key factor in Malta's future power sector?

Hydrogen technology and bio-methane could also play an important part in Malta’s future power sector depending on international developments of these two clean fuels.

Can Malta import hydrogen from Italy?

Malta is also actively studying the possibility of importing hydrogen from Italy through the Melita TransGas Pipeline project, which will not only end Malta’s isolation from the trans-European gas network but will also provide an opportunity to import renewable gases, such as green hydrogen or biomethane, once the market develops.
