Abstract: | Malta is a small island-state in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, with a total area of 316 km1 and a population of 440,500 (2017)1. Geographically speaking, it is the most southern EU Member State and is only about 300 kilometres from North African shores. Malta's electricity generation profile fulfilled the definition of a 'small, isolated electricity system' as understood in the context of the EU Directive 2003/54/EC, since the level of electricity generation had not exceeded the 3,000 GWh/ annum for the base year of 1996 and it was not connected to the European electricity network. However, as of March 2015, Malta started operating its first underwater electricity interconnector to ·the European network grid through Sicily, Italy and this practically ended Malta's insularity vis-a-vis electricity supply. |
