Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Malta

Single buyerOne state buyer, private generators

Malta is linked to Sicily by an undersea cable, which provides much of its electricity alongside gas-fired plants.

Markets & power exchanges

No open power exchange: producers sell to the single buyer under long-term contracts.

What does “Single buyer” mean?

Independent power producers build plants and sell their output under long-term contracts to one designated state buyer, usually the national utility, which runs the grid and sells to consumers.
