€10 Million Investment To Boost Msida Electricity Distribution

€10 million investment is being made to modernise the electricity distribution centre in Msida, replacing equipment that has been in operation for over 30 years.

This upgrade, led by Enemalta, will involve the installation of two new transformers and switchgear, increasing the centre’s capacity by 50%.

The improved infrastructure will strengthen the electricity distribution network, benefiting Msida and nearby areas, including Birkirkara, Swatar, San Ġwann, and Santa Venera.

With state-of-the-art technology, the upgraded centre will enhance maintenance processes and enable faster, more effective responses during power disruptions.

This aims to provide both businesses and households with a more reliable electricity supply.

Speaking during a visit to the project, Minister for the Environment and Energy, Miriam Dalli, highlighted the importance of ongoing modernisation in the energy sector.

Enemalta’s Executive Chairman, Ing. Ryan Fava, noted that this initiative is part of a six-year plan to strengthen electricity distribution across Malta.

Work on new distribution centres in Naxxar and Siġġiewi is also set to begin this year. Similar upgrades have already been completed in Imrieħel, Marsaskala, and Ħal Tarxien, with further plans to expand and modernise substations to ensure a more efficient and stable energy supply.
