Maghtab, Malta, and Ragusa, Sicily. It will be installed in parallel with the existing interconnector, previously delivered by Nexans in 2015.
As part of Malta’s national energy strategy, the project will increase security of supply, integrate more renewable energy sources, and support the country’s 2030 climate and energy targets. By strengthening Malta’s connection to the European grid, it will improve grid stability and foster economic growth through a more reliable power supply.
“We are proud to contribute to Malta’s energy infrastructure,” said Pascal Radue, EVP Power Transmission Business Group at Nexans. “Delivering this second interconnector strengthens the energy link between Malta and Sicily, ensuring long-term stability for the country’s electricity supply. Building on our longstanding partnership with Interconnect Malta, this project also plays a key role in supporting the country’s transition toward a climate-neutral economy and enabling further investment in renewable energy.”
“This interconnector is a key milestone for Malta’s electricity network,” said Ismail D’Amato, CEO at Interconnect Malta (ICM). “By adding a second connection, we are increasing security of supply, increasing grid resilience, and ensuring that Malta has access to reliable and efficient power transmission for years to come. We are pleased to partner with Nexans once again on this project.”
With this project, Nexans continues to reinforce its role as a key partner in power transmission, delivering high-quality, high-performance cable solutions and innovative technology for critical energy infrastructure worldwide.
