Malta Commissions 47 New Substations To Strengthen National Electricity Network
The Government, through Enemalta, has commissioned 47 new substations in the first nine months of 2025, surpassing initial projections and reinforcing the resilience of Malta and Gozo’s electricity distribution network.
Energy Minister Miriam Dalli, accompanied by Enemalta Executive Chairman Ing. Ryan Fava, visited ongoing works in Ħal Għaxaq, where a new substation is being commissioned. The project aims to improve service reliability in the area, reducing disruptions and enhancing supply stability.
Minister Dalli said, “These investments reflect our long-term vision for a stronger and more resilient electricity network. By expanding and modernising our infrastructure we are improving the quality of service for families and businesses today while also laying the foundations to meet tomorrow’s challenges, including the integration of more renewable energy. This work ensures that Malta’s energy system remains reliable, sustainable, and ready for the future.”
Substations are essential to the electricity distribution network, and by adding new units across different localities, Enemalta is improving efficiency and creating redundancy within the system.
The new substations are part of a broader programme of modernisation, which includes the construction of new distribution centres in Naxxar and Siġġiewi, doubling the capacity of Msida DC, increasing capacity in St. Andrew’s DC, and extending the switchgear in Mosta DC. These centres will serve as key hubs, enabling more flexible power management and supporting Malta’s future energy needs.
Ing. Fava emphasised, “Our priority is to deliver a service that our customers can rely on not only today, but also in the years to come. By commissioning new substations and building new distribution centres, we are making the network more robust and resilient. We are committed to ensuring that Enemalta continues to provide a reliable, safe, and sustainable electricity supply for the country.”
