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.
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.
“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.
Provide fast frequency and voltage stabilisation to the Maltese grid in case Malta is isolated from the Italian grid because of maintenance or faults. ERA reviews the Project Description Statement and confirms that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is not required
