65,000 households worth of energy generated by solar panels in 2022

May 22 2023

Last year, photovoltaic panels in Malta generated a total of 284,600MWh, which is the equivalent of the energy consumption of 65,000 houses in one year.

This also means that 108,500 tonnes of less carbon dioxide emissions were released into Maltese air. This was revealed by Environment, Energy and Enterprise Minister Miriam Dalli in response to a parliamentary question.

Minister Dalli also explained how there was the potential to generate around 355,200MWh, which is a 70,600MWh difference between the potential and what was actually generated.

Explaining the potential reason behind the difference, the minister attributed this to the possible degradation of panels throughout the years, a lack of maintenance and/or natural variations in sunlight hours.
