Malta's grid-scale, long-duration energy storage system helps governments, utilities, and grid operators transition to low-cost, carbon free renewable energy while enhancing energy security.
By efficiently storing electricity for long durations, Malta's system can enable increased penetration of renewable energy from intermittent sources, maintain grid reliability, and accelerate the decarbonization of the energy sector.
The Malta PHES energy storage system is built upon well-established principles in thermodynamics and uses conventional components that have been present in power plants for hundreds of years. Electricity from the grid is used to heat molten salt and cool a chilled liquid. In these forms, energy can be efficiently stored for long durations.
Malta Energy Storage began as one of the “moonshot” projects assigned to X, the innovation branch of Google. Now it has been spun off into a separate standalone business. Can it survive the rigors of the marketplace?
In 2018, Malta generated 7.7 per cent of its energy from renewable sources. Although this was a five per cent increase from 2017, Malta ranked last in the EU when it comes to green energy generation.
Designed to deliver clean, reliable power and heat at scale, Malta SEMS (Steam Energy Management and Storage) accelerates decarbonization while seamlessly integrating with existing infrastructure or operating as a stand-alone system.
