This project plays a vital role in strengthening regional energy transmission and grid reliability, ensuring long-term energy stability between Malta and Sicily.

Our engineering scope includes:

• Installation of shunt reactors in Magħtab (Malta) and Ragusa (Sicily) to manage reactive power and boost transmission efficiency
• Deployment of a 220kV/132kV transformer in Magħtab to step down voltage levels and seamlessly integrate the interconnector with Malta’s distribution grid

This contract further reinforces AG Group’s position as a trusted provider of high-voltage engineering solutions for vital energy infrastructure.

From a single spark of entrepreneurial ambition to designing the future of a nation’s energy, Andrei Grech’s vision for AG Group is as clear as it is powerful. Apart from engineering excellence, it is a vision built on a foundation of passion, agility, and the unwavering belief that to succeed, you have to be fast, sharp, and always ready for the next challenge.

Reflecting on the exciting journey which has seen him build AG Group into the diversified engineering powerhouse it is today, Andrei’s story reads like a masterclass in ambition, strategy, and relentless forward momentum. 

Established in 2005 as a small electrical installations firm, AG Group has undergone a remarkable transformation. Under the leadership of CEO and founder Andrei, the company has evolved from a traditional MEP contractor into an integrated engineering group with eight distinct business units, a hundred-strong workforce, and its own fleet of vehicles operating from its Qormi headquarters. Today, it enjoys pride of place at the forefront of Malta’s infrastructure development, shaping the very grid that powers the nation.

From an early age, AG Group CEO Andrei Grech has embodied leadership and resilience. He began his career as an electrician at 19 years old, creating a one-man set-up he operated from his parents’ home, having secured a small loan to purchase tools. That startup company would eventually lay the foundations for AG Group.

“The journey to shaping AG Group as it is today has been taken step by step,” says Andrei. “Every year has been a landmark because every year our business has grown, with new opportunities, energy, time, and success. Sometimes there were big steps, sometimes small; but they have always been continuous. It’s a landmark process.”

At the heart of this process has been Andrei himself, driven by a work ethos that revolves around three key pillars. “Time, passion and hard work – nothing is achieved without them,” he asserts. “Added to these, you must also prioritise efficiency, quality and respect. To me, keeping your word is more important than a contract.”

Key machinery required to run electricity through a second undersea interconnector is to be supplied and installed by a local firm, after its €20.3 million tender bid proved to be the cheapest.

AG Installations has been recommended as the supplier to install a shunt reactor on each side of the interconnector – in Magħtab and Ragusa, Sicily – as well as a 220kV/132kV transformer in Maghtab.

Shunt reactors will reduce the reactive power generated by the interconnector cable, improving its energy transmission efficiency. The transformer will step down the interconnector’s 220kV voltage to 132kV.

AG Installations is part of the AG Group, a local company that provides mechanical, electrical and plumbing services and which is run by founder Andrei Grech.

AG Installations has been recommended to supply and install machinery for Malta’s second interconnector project after its €20.3 million tender bid was selected as the most cost-effective.

The project involves the installation of shunt reactors at both ends of the interconnector, in Magħtab and Ragusa, as well as a 220kV/132kV transformer in Magħtab. The components are crucial for improving the energy transmission efficiency of the interconnector by managing reactive power and adjusting voltage levels.

AG Installations were recommended for award of  this contract, valued at €20.3 million. Through this procedure a shunt reactor will be installed at each side of the interconnector, namely at Ragusa in Sicily and Maghtab, Malta. The purpose of the shunt reactors is to reduce the reactive power generated by the subsea and onshore cable, thus improving the efficiency in transmitting the energy from one source to the other. The interconnector will be operating at 220kV, thus, in order to step down this voltage to the levels of the Maltese connection point, a 220kV/132kV autotransformer will be installed at Maghtab.

Interconnect Malta (ICM), the entity leading this project, has also published a fourth tender. This relates to the Supply and Installation of 220kV Switchgear, Fire Suppression System and Construction of Fire Walls at Ragusa and the Upgrade of Control System. The estimated value of this tender is €12 million.
