Water is a necessity for life, essential not only for survival but also for improving the quality of life. Given the limited naturally available water resources in the Maltese islands, the Energy and Water Agency has continuously sought sustainable solutions to meet...
Our mission at the Energy & Water Agency is to ensure the security, sustainability and affordability of energy and water in Malta.
As an organisation of the Government of Malta, the EWA is responsible for drafting and actioning the Government''s national policies for these sectors, and abiding by EU legislation for energy and water sustainability. It is also our job to act on laws and develop policies for renewable energy, energy efficiency, water demand management, and the security of the local energy supply (for electricity, gas and water).
At the EWA, we carry out rigorous research to forecast Malta''s energy and water demands, so that these are met sustainably across the country, with a focus on circularity.
Our ultimate vision is to safeguard the long-term value of the energy and water sectors in Malta through resilient, environmentally sustainable and economically circular practices. In and of themselves, such practices promote the security of supply, universal affordability and the innovation of cutting-edge solutions to meet industry challenges in a sustainable manner.

Malta''s commitment to electricity network reinforcements and its plans to augment security of supply through new interconnections with mainland Europe and battery storage systems are paving the way for increased renewable energy investment in coming years.
Kadri Simson, European Commissioner for Energy and Miriam Dalli, Malta''s Minister for the Environment, Energy and Enterprise, discussed Malta''s renewable energy plans on Wednesday during a visit to some of the principal electricity network installations operated by Malta''s distribution network operator Enemalta plc. The visit was held on the fringes of the Med9 Meeting of Energy Ministers, which is taking place in Valletta on Thursday.
Commissioner Simson and Minister Dalli also met Interconnect Malta, the Government company entrusted with the development of Interconnector 2, the second subsea electricity interconnector between Malta and Italy.
During the visit, Enemalta management explained how the company is implementing a €90 million reinforcement programme to improve network resilience while providing additional capacity to meet the requirements of the country''s growing investment in grid-connected renewables. The visit included stops at the Kappara 132kV primary substation, which was recently upgraded, the Terminal Station of the EU-funded Malta-Italy Interconnector at Magħtab, as well as a section of the 30-kilometre network of underground tunnels housing the country''s 110-kilometre high-voltage cable network.
Interconnect Malta''s management team gave an update on the ongoing planning and permitting stages of the Interconnector 2 project, which is being developed with the support of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). This new interconnection will provide for the planned increase in local renewable energy sources (RES) by enhancing grid stability and balancing renewables'' intermittency.
Interconnect Malta is also working on the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Project, a grid-scale electricity storage system that is being planned as an important contribution to the attainment of Malta''s decarbonisation commitments, in line with the EU''s Green Deal objectives. The BESS project is being co-funded by the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) and the ERDF of the European Union.
