In a statement, Interconnect Malta said the BESS project would help ensure a more stable and reliable energy supply while making it possible to ramp up the share of renewables in the national energy system. Energy Minister Miriam Dalli described the project as a “pioneering” one that would tackle the intermittency of renewable energy generation.
She emphasized that initiatives like these are vital steps toward large-scale renewable projects, such as offshore wind. Dr. Ing. Joseph Vassallo, Divisional Manager at ICM, highlighted that the BESS systems are key to modernizing Malta's distribution network.
The BESS systems will enable the storage of surplus energy generated by photovoltaic panels during periods of low demand. This stored energy will then be used when demand peaks, helping to maintain the stability of Malta's electrical grid.
The introduction of BESS is crucial for Malta as it allows for the storage of surplus energy generated by photovoltaic panels during low demand periods. This stored energy can then be utilized during peak demand times, thereby stabilizing the electrical grid.
