4 FAQs about The latest distribution of energy storage power stations in Malta

How does energy storage work in Malta?

Malta's innovative long-duration energy storage technology stores electricity as thermal energy from eight hours to eight days or longer, later returning it to the grid to meet hourly, daily, and weekly needs.

How many electricity plants are there in Malta?

Malta has four electricity plants operational and the total combined nominal installed capacity is 537.8 MW. The Malta–Sicily Interconnector, which has been in operation since April 2015, allows for an electricity link between the Maltese Islands and the Italian electricity market has bidirectional flow capacity of 200 MW.
