Get a quoteBy efficiently storing electricity for long durations, Malta’s system can enable increased penetration of renewable energy from intermittent sources, maintain grid reliability, and accelerate the decarbonization of the energy sector.
The Malta PHES energy storage system is built upon well-established principles in thermodynamics and uses conventional components that have been present in power plants for hundreds of years. Electricity from the grid is used to heat molten salt and cool a chilled liquid. In these forms, energy can be efficiently stored for long durations.
Malta's electro-thermal energy storage system is built upon well-established principles in thermodynamics. Malta's electro-thermal energy storage system is built with abundant, field-proven components that are fully recyclable and reclaimable. Molten salt is the most mature technology used in thermal storage.
Malta has developed a long-duration energy storage solution that leverages steam-based heat pump technology to provide a cost-efficient, flexible, and integration-ready option for utility and industrial clients.
Energy in Malta describes energy production, consumption and import in Malta. Malta has no domestic resource of fossil fuels and no gas distribution network, and relies overwhelmingly on imports of fossil fuels and electricity to cover its energy needs.
Malta delivers outsized, quantifiable commercial value to a diverse range of customers, empowering them with clean and dispatchable power and heat to achieve their decarbonization and reliability goals. We’re focused on helping to build a more sustainable future.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
