Malta is a small island economy and largely disconnected from the European energy network, with a limited diversification in energy sources. With its temperate climate, the average
While the shift has delivered environmental benefits, with greenhouse gas emissions from power plants falling by 7.8%, it leaves the island increasingly exposed to potential disruptions in
"RES" means energy from renewable non-fossil sources, namely wind, solar (solar thermal and solar photovoltaic) and geothermal energy, ambient energy, tide, wave and other ocean energy,
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
During 2024, the electricity supply in Malta comprised of net generation from power plants (58.1 per cent), supply from net imports (31.1 per cent) and renewable sources (10.8 per cent) (Table
This network code establishes requirements for grid connected power-generating facilities, namely synchronous power-generating modules, power park modules and offshore power park modules,
Energy harvesting from renewable sources registered an increase of 5.6 per cent, reaching 336.0 GWh in 2024. Most of the renewable energy (97.2 per cent) was produced from
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.
Malta still depends on non-renewable energy resources, with 67.8% of Malta''s electricity supply derived from power plants, 21.3% from net imports and only 10.9% from renewable sources.
