FAQS

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 energy in Malta?

Energy in Malta describes energy production, consumption and import in Malta. Malta has no domestic resource of fossil fuels and no gas distribution network, and relies overwhelmingly on imports of fossil fuels and electricity to cover its energy needs.

Why does Malta need solar power?

Increases in energy costs worldwide have given new impetus to this work, since Malta imports nearly all its energy. The government continues to explore additional possibilities for solar power generation and employing other alternative energy sources such as wind power (see also Waste section for related opportunities).

What type of electricity does Malta use?

Renewable electricity here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal power. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings.

What percentage of energy is renewable in Malta?

As of 2017, renewables represented 4.9% of gross inland energy consumption and 6.6% of gross electricity generation in Malta, some of the lowest shares in the European Union. Most of the renewable energy generated in Malta is solar energy, with some wind and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generation.
