Malta
Malta has worked to diversify and modernize its electrical grid in recent years, transitioning from inefficient coal- and heavy oil-fueled domestic production to an approach using natural gas, oil
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.
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).
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.
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.
