Will Malta develop a battery energy storage system?
The government has received 16 offers for the development of Malta’s first large-scale utility battery energy storage systems, Minister for the Environment, Energy and Public Cleanliness Miriam Dalli told The Malta Independent.
What is Malta's Energy & Climate Strategy?
This project is in alignment with Malta’s energy and climate strategies, as it emphasises the integration of energy emanating from renewable sources and the mitigation of energy curtailment, thus enhancing energy security and reducing carbon emissions.
Why is the Bess project important for Malta?
Interconnect Malta divisional manager Joseph Vassallo said the BESS project was an important milestone for Malta as it would contribute to modernise its distribution network with the installation of large power-electronic converters connected to Malta’s 33kV system for energy conversion and flexibility services.
How does the Bess project affect PV generation in Malta?
The BESS project is also intended to mitigate weather-related challenges posed by renewable energy sources, which are reliant on climatic conditions and can therefore lead to significant dips in generation during moments of sudden cloud coverage severely affecting the PV generation in Malta.
What is interconnect Malta & how does it work?
First announced in June , the project is being led by Interconnect Malta, an Energy Ministry agency responsible for energy infrastructure projects. Batteries will be charged using power fed into the national grid by photovoltaic panels during daytime hours and will then discharge power at nighttime.
Will Malta be able to develop offshore wind?
“Initiatives such as these are pivotal to allow Malta to progress towards larger-scale renewable energy projects, such as offshore wind," the minister said. The government has said it has shortlisted two sites for offshore wind projects, which it would like the private sector to operate.
