New Milestone for Malta’s Second Interconnector (IC2)!

Works have officially started in Ragusa to install a new hybrid switchgear—another step forward for the IC2 project.

To safely reroute existing IC1 cables, the first interconnector will undergo a planned 3‑day shutdown, coordinated between Interconnect Malta, Enemalta, Terna Energy Solutions, and the Italian Transmission System Operator.

✅ Local generation at Delimara will fully support Malta’s electricity demand throughout this period.

✅ Additional civil works will also prepare a new fire‑protection system for the site.

✅ Rerouting will be carried out jointly with our colleagues at Enemalta and Terna Energy Solutions

Malta is strengthening its energy future—safely, strategically, and sustainably. 🌱⚡
