  12. Project of “Sicily – Malta” Interconnector • Through this planning permit, which was approved by MEPA in April, as of next year, Enemalta will be in a position to start the process of shutting off and decommissioning the Marsa PowerStation. The cost of the interconnector project is €200 million. • “The project will also ensure that the Island’s local generating plant could be used more optimally to reduce emissions and improve local air quality,” MEPA said. • At the present time the electricity generated at the Delimara Power Station is 571MW, with the interconnector it will be increased to 685MW. The interconnector could, in an emergency, boost the power by an extra 100 megawatts for an additional hour. Published on Tuesday, 24, July, 2012 at 18:12 in Malta News
