Malta energy storage medium

What is Malta's energy storage system?

Malta’s grid-scale, long-duration energy storage system helps governments, utilities, and grid operators transition to low-cost, carbon free renewable energy while enhancing energy security. Storing electricity for eight hours to eight days or longer, the solution reduces CO 2 emissions and dependence on natural gas.

How long does energy storage last?

The energy stored in the system can be kept for days or even weeks, until it’s needed. Malta Inc. is now an independent company. It plans to build and sell industrial-grade, grid-scale energy storage solutions that can be located anywhere in the world.

What is thermo-electric energy storage?

Malta’s Thermo-Electric Energy Storage is cost-effective, grid-scale technology. It collects and stores energy for long durations to feed the growing power demands of our electricity-hungry world and enable reliable integration of renewable resources. Energy can be stored from any power generation source in any location.

Is energy storage the future of power?

Renewable energy is the future of power, but relying on solar, wind, etc. will require a more reliable and resilient grid. Effective energy storage would make it possible to smooth out discrepancies in supply and demand, and harness renewable power more efficiently.

Why do we need energy storage?

It presents an opportunity to capture and store this energy for use at a later, more valuable time of need, often correlating with when fossil resources would otherwise be dispatched.
