What is Malta's energy storage system?
Malta’s grid-scale, long-duration energy storage system helps governments, utilities, and grid operators transition to low-cost, carbon free renewable energy while enhancing energy security. Storing electricity for eight hours to eight days or longer, the solution reduces CO 2 emissions and dependence on natural gas.
Is Malta the first company to commercialize a thermoelectric energy storage system?
Christian Bruch, President and CEO of Siemens Energy, said, “ Malta’s innovative thermoelectric energy storage system offers a flexible, cost-effective and scalable solution for the storage of energy over long periods of time. With our support, Malta is well positioned to be the first company to commercialize such a solution globally.
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.
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.
What is the Malta-Sicily interconnector?
The Malta–Sicily Interconnector, which has been in operation since April , allows for an electricity link between the Maltese Islands and the Italian electricity market has bidirectional flow capacity of 200 MW. This is said to have increased Malta's energy security and supply flexibility.
