Over 34,000 street lights in Malta\u2019s residential and distributor roads will be replaced with modern LED fittings by the end of 2028, delivering over 60% energy savings. This is equivalent to a reduction of 3,000 tonnes of CO\u2082 emissions.<\/p>\n

Minister for Energy Miriam Dalli, together with Enemalta Executive Chairman In\u0121. Ryan Fava, visited Fgura where 540 luminaires are currently being replaced, marking the first step in this nationwide effort. The \u20ac13 million project will see outdated high-pressure sodium lights substituted with state-of-the-art LED luminaires that consume less than half the power of existing units.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment reduces energy consumption and emissions while delivering safer and more sustainable communities. Through projects like this, we are ensuring that the transition to cleaner energy is felt in every town and village, directly improving the quality of life for our people,\u201d said Minister Miriam Dalli.<\/p>\n

The initiative will also significantly reduce maintenance costs, since LED technology lasts twice as long as traditional lighting. This is a direct benefit for local councils, who are responsible for maintaining much of Malta\u2019s residential lighting network.<\/p>\n

Environmental and community considerations have been central to the project\u2019s design. The new luminaires are full cut-off, eliminating light pollution and protecting the night sky. Their warm white (3000 K) colour temperature is less intrusive to residents and less disruptive to biodiversity, ensuring a balance between energy efficiency, safety, and environmental protection.<\/p>\n

This project builds on the nationwide retrofitting programme on arterial roads successfully implemented by the Energy and Water Agency, extending its benefits to every locality in Malta.<\/p>\n

In\u0121. Ryan Fava, Executive Chairman of Enemalta plc, stated, \u201cIn line with Enemalta\u2019s commitment to modernise Malta\u2019s electricity and lighting infrastructure, this project marks another important step in improving efficiency, reliability and sustainability, while delivering tangible environmental and financial benefits to our communities,\u201d said.<\/p>\n
