Minister for Energy, Enterprise, and Sustainable Development Miriam Dalli has announced new schemes for using renewable energy from homes, which she said, “will provide €9 million to Maltese and Gozitan families.”

The Minister also announced a number of new schemes for families to invest in solar energy to generate, store and save on their domestic electricity bills.

Those whose scheme has expired after six or eight years will start to benefit from the current feed-in tariff system for 20 years. The Minister said that “this practically covers the panels’ lifetime.”

She added that those who applied for a system that expired after six years will enter the existing system for another 14 years, and whoever was placed on a system that expired after eight years will join the existing system for another 12 years.

Minister Dali explained that the schemes offered are intended to address people’s different needs and to consider those who have already invested in order for their investment to continue to pay off.

There are also better opportunities for those who want to invest in batteries to have a domestic energy generation system, storage, and usage according to when they need it, including at night, she said.
