Two new solar farms in the Ta’ Ċenċ area in Gozo.

Another project of ours - Two new solar farms in the Ta’ Ċenċ area in Gozo. The solar farms were built on the reservoirs of the WSC and are made up of 2,871 panels. During a visit to the solar farms, the Minister for Energy Miriam Dalli said that it is estimated that the solar farms could generate over two million kWh per year, the equivalent of the amount of electricity used annually by 500 households. Chief Executive of Malta Energy, CEO Noel Gauci said that future projects will offer families, who cannot place solar panels on their rooftops, the opportunity to buy a portion of these projects.





Projects

The company has so far embarked on three main Photovoltaic solar farm projects:

658 kw on San Niklaw reservoir (Qrendi)
610 kw on Ta Cenc reservoirs 1,2 and 3 (Gozo)
677 kw on Ta Cenc no 4 reservoir (Gozo)

The projects have seen a total of five different renewable energy operators investing and actively participating
in these projects for the next 20 years, making their businesses and the jobs of their employees more stable.

Initial works in Qrendi.

After alignment, the aluminium structures are fixed to the roof by special epoxy to ensure no damage or seeping as caused.

2

Inverter installation at Qrendi.

Inverters convert electricity generated by the panels from DC to AC, regulate the voltage and synchronise the electricity with that on the grid.

Qrendi up and running!

The Qrendi reservoir was the first one to be put online, generating an average of 2.8MW of clean electricity per day.

Ta Cenc 4 (Gozo)

Ta Cenc 4 is the largest of our projects. It generates 1,083,200 kW annually.

Ta Cenc 4 (Gozo)

The roof of the polishing plant at Ta Cenc 4 is also well utilised to produce clean energy.
