Renewable electricity in Malta
This was supported by the adoption of solar energy, which accounted for more than 97.0% of total renewable energy production in Malta in 2019. This push probably benefitted from policy
Power generation from photovoltaic (PV) solar cells is increasing in Malta, with total kWp (kilowatt peak) capacity growing by 16.9% from 2017 to 2018. Domestic rooftop installations account for the overwhelming majority of PV installations, and hold 52.1% of total kWp capacity.
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.
Malta has also taken important steps to explore offshore renewable energy potential. While no offshore wind projects have yet been commissioned, consultations and preparatory tenders have generated interest from international stakeholders.
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.
