The Difference Between Electricity Generation & Distribution

Feb 25 2025

Many people assume that Enemalta is responsible for both the creation and supply of electricity, but in reality, there is a significant difference between generation and distribution.

Electricity generation refers to the production of power from various sources, including power stations such as Delimara, the inter-connector that links Malta to Sicily, solar panels, and, in the future, wind turbines. These sources generate electricity, but they do not directly deliver it to homes and businesses.

Electricity distribution, on the other hand, is the process of delivering power from these sources to consumers.

Enemalta is responsible for this stage, ensuring that electricity reaches homes through an extensive network of underground cables, distribution centres, transformers, and substations.

When a power cut occurs, it can either be due to an issue in generation, such as when the inter-connector was damaged by an anchor, or a distribution problem, similar to a car running out of fuel—it has the energy but cannot reach its destination due to an obstruction.

To address distribution issues and ensure a more reliable power supply, Enemalta has been carrying out extensive infrastructure upgrades.

Over the past year, more than 140 kilometres of new underground cables have been installed, in addition to new substations and the modernisation of distribution centres.

These improvements help reduce power outages and allow for faster reconnections when necessary, ensuring that electricity supply remains as stable and efficient as possible.
