As part of Malta's long-term climate and energy goals to reduce carbon emissions from the energy sector, enhance the integration of renewable energy sources (RES), and strengthen the security of supply, the country is launching the procurement process for the design and construction of two utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Malta's new energy storage solution has the potential to revolutionize the future of grid-scale energy storage. The system can draw electricity from the grid in times of plenty and store it for hours or days, waiting until a time of high demand before releasing the power back to the grid.
Because the Malta system uses fundamentally low-cost materials like salt, steel, and air, the cost of the physical system is low enough to make it a compelling solution for the most critical large-scale energy storage needs. A vital part of Malta's new energy storage solution is heat transfer technology supplied by Alfa Laval.
Malta has developed a long-duration energy storage solution that leverages steam-based heat pump technology to provide a cost-efficient, flexible, and integration-ready option for utility and industrial clients.
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.
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.
Malta delivers outsized, quantifiable commercial value to a diverse range of customers, empowering them with clean and dispatchable power and heat to achieve their decarbonization and reliability goals. We're focused on helping to build a more sustainable future.
