Overview

Project Summary

In the Rabat region of Malta, the roof of the Tal-Fiddien Reservoir has been converted into a solar photovoltaic farm that invites investments from citizens who may not be able to invest in solar PV in their own properties as they lack a suitable surface (such as in a ground floor apartment). The installation contains 4,000 PV panels totalling 999 kWp (kilowatt peak). Residents can purchase between 1-3 kWp at a price of EUR 1,500 per kWp and in return they benefit from a feed-in tariff of 15 cents per kWh generated for the first six years, and 10.5 cents for the remainder of the twenty year lease. The scheme was established by the Maltese Energy and Water Agency to boost renewable energy generation on the island. Despite an initially slow start, the scheme has been very successful, with all 999 kWp purchased within nine months of the launch, by around 400 households.
