Malta’s Renewable Energy Share Rises To 18.8% In 2025

Malta’s renewable energy share rose to 18.8% of the country’s energy consumption in 2025, up from 17.2% in 2024, according to provisional Eurostat data.

The latest figures mark a continued increase in the use of renewable energy, with Malta’s share having grown more than sixfold since 2012, when it stood at less than 3%.

Minister for the Environment and Energy Miriam Dalli welcomed the figures, highlighting the role of investment in renewable energy and the contribution of households and businesses to the country’s energy goals.

“From less than 3% in 2012 to almost 19% today, Malta has made significant strides in its transition towards renewable energy,” Dalli said.

She added that more households are generating their own clean electricity and more businesses are investing in sustainable technologies, helping Malta gradually reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.

The minister said the Government’s commitment was to make renewable energy more accessible and affordable, helping families and businesses reduce energy costs while strengthening the country’s energy security.

At 18.8%, Malta ranked ahead of several EU Member States, including Belgium, at 14.9%, Slovakia, at 16.3%, and Ireland, at 17.2%.

The figures represent further progress towards Malta’s national target of reaching a 25% renewable energy share by 2030.

The Government said the increase reflects ongoing investment in renewable energy, supported by financial incentives and schemes encouraging households, businesses and industries to adopt renewable technologies.

The latest figures remain provisional and highlight Malta’s progress in expanding renewable energy use despite the geographical and size constraints faced by the country.
