A €750,000 investment has been made in new photovoltaic (PV) systems at the Reverse Osmosis plants in Cirkewwa and Pembroke, expected to generate a total of 1.8 million kWh of renewable energy annually. This energy output is sufficient to meet the needs of approximately 415 households.

At the Cirkewwa plant, more than 440 solar panels have been installed, generating 400,000 kWh of electricity each year—enough to power around 90 homes. Meanwhile, at the Pembroke plant, roughly 1,680 panels have been set up, with an annual generation capacity of 1.4 million kWh, which can supply energy to around 325 families.

These solar power installations are financed by the Corporation’s Green Bonds, marking the first such initiative of its kind in Malta.
