Ryan Fava visited ongoing latest works in G\u0127axaq, where a new substation is currently being commissioned. This project will enhance the quality of service for customers in the area, reducing the likelihood of disruptions and increasing the stability of supply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These investments reflect our long-term vision for a stronger and more resilient electricity network. By expanding and modernizing our infrastructure we are improving the quality of service for families and businesses today while also laying the foundations to meet tomorrow&#8217;s challenges, including the integration of more renewable energy. This work ensures that Malta&#8217;s energy system remains reliable, sustainable, and ready for the future,&#8221; Minister Miriam Dalli stated.<\/p>\n<p>Substations play a critical role in the electricity distribution network. By adding more substations across different localities, Enemalta is improving efficiency and creating additional redundancy within the network.<\/p>\n<p>The new substations commissioned this year are part of a broader program of investment. Enemalta is also working on several major projects to modernize and expand the network, including the construction of new distribution centers in Naxxar and Si\u0121\u0121iewi, doubling the capacity of Msida DC, increasing capacity in St. Andrew&#8217;s DC and also extending the switchgear in Mosta dc. These distribution centers will serve as key hubs, enabling more flexible management of power flows and providing the capacity needed to support Malta&#8217;s future energy needs.<\/p>\n<p>Enemalta&#8217;s Executive Chairman Ing. Ryan Fava underlined the importance of these projects: &#8220;Our priority is to deliver a service that our customers can rely on \u2014 not only today, but also in the years to come. By commissioning new substations and building new distribution centers, we are making the network more robust and resilient. We are committed to ensuring that Enemalta continues to provide a reliable, safe, and sustainable electricity supply for the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Enemalta will continue delivering projects that enhance the resilience of the national grid, reinforcing its mission to provide customers with a safe, reliable, and sustainable electricity service while supporting Malta&#8217;s long-term energy strategy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: MEEC<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_51886\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"51886\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"http:\/\/livenewsmalta.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government, through Enemalta, has continued to invest heavily in the national electricity network, commissioning 46 new substations in the first nine months of this year, exceeding projections.
