The Maltese islands could become fully reliant on renewable energy sources (RES) for periods of time once the government''s planned energy projects are completed, according to a government energy expert. Such renewables include types found onshore and offshore, Ing. Ismail D''Amato told The Malta Independent on Sunday.
Malta represents the future of energy storage. With its grid-scale solutions that can store energy up to 50x longer than typical battery technology, Malta is enabling renewable energy to be used more efficiently and effectively, enhancing grid reliability and resilience, and expediting the transition to a clean energy future.
Malta’s energy sector has two main category contributors. Those of energy generation and transport. The investment in new generation capacity, fuel switching, and alternative sourcing of electricity have all contributed towards the rapid decrease in emissions observed in the last ten years.
Malta’s strategy under the energy security dimension will continue to emphasize the government’s commitment to achieving greater security of supply through the diversification of energy sources and suppliers and reduce energy import dependency primarily through the deployment of indigenous Renewable Energy Sources (RES).
U.S. suppliers of renewable solutions may therefore find opportunities in Malta. Further, this gives rise to opportunities for U.S. energy storage technologies and batteries, which assist in flattening the demand curve and smoothing out Malta’s energy supply.
Malta also seeks to secure battery storage to aid with problems of energy intermittency that comes with widescale adoption of renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
Increases in energy costs worldwide have given new impetus to this work, since Malta imports nearly all its energy. The government continues to explore additional possibilities for solar power generation and employing other alternative energy sources such as wind power (see also Waste section for related opportunities).
