Renewable Energy

Approximately one-seventh of the world''s primary energy is now sourced from renewable technologies. Note that this is based on renewable energy''s share in the energy mix. Energy consumption represents the sum of electricity, transport, and heating. We look at the electricity mix later in this article.

Malta

Malta has not yet adopted renewable energy solutions beyond solar power, although it has studied several possibilities. Increases in energy costs worldwide have given new impetus to this work, since Malta imports nearly all its energy. The government continues to explore additional possibilities for solar power generation and employing other

Jump in Malta''s renewable energy share

The next milestone is the 10% target to be achieved by the end of 2020. This target takes into consideration Malta''s starting point pre 2010, when energy production from renewable energy sources was negligible. Malta has increased its renewable share five-fold since 2010 from around 100GWh to over 500GWh, and latest projections show that
