Malta''s innovative thermo-electric energy storage system represents a flexible, low-cost, and expandable utility-scale solution for storing energy over long durations at high efficiency. The system is comprised of conventional components and abundant raw materials – steel, air, salt, and commodity liquids.
In the azure waters of the Mediterranean, Malta is orchestrating a remarkable transformation-a shift towards sustainable energy solutions that harness the power of renewable technologies.
We endeavour to make Ineco the leader in the delivery of clean energy solutions, prioritising economic responsibility and environmental sustainability. We refuse to ignore the climate crisis and have staked our position on the side of evolution.
How the Malta System Works 1. Collects. Energy is collected from solar, wind, or the grid. 2. Converts. The electricity drives a heat pump, which converts electrical energy into thermal energy – both hot and cold. 3. Stores. The heat is stored in molten salt, and the cold is stored in antifreeze coolant. 4. Regenerates. The thermal energy is
Malta''s Thermo-Electric Energy Storage is cost-effective, grid-scale technology. It collects and stores energy for long durations to feed the growing power demands of our electricity-hungry world and enable reliable integration of renewable resources. Energy can be stored from any power generation source in any location.
Malta is aiming to increase its renewable energy generation share from 10% to 25% by 2030, with a new national policy highlight offshore wind farms as the favoured way to do this.
Guiding businesses in their clean energy transition, by providing the best energy technology that prioritises self-sufficiency, economic responsibility, and environmental sustainability.
The Maltese islands could become fully reliant on renewable energy sources (RES) for periods of time once the government''s planned energy projects are completed, according to a government energy
At COP29 in Baku, Malta showcased its achievements towards sustainability, emphasising the unity between water management, renewable energy, and climate resilience. With visionary leadership and innovations, the Maltese delegation highlighted the nation''s progress in addressing climate challenges through state-of-the-art infrastructure
The Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan for Malta for 2021-2030 aims to increase its share of renewable energy technologies in its gross final energy consumption to 11.5% by 2030. In the electricity sector, the share of
The Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan for Malta for 2021-2030 aims to increase its share of renewable energy technologies in its gross final energy consumption to 11.5% by 2030. In the electricity sector, the share of renewables is planned to rise to 11%by 2030.

Energy is gathered from wind, solar, or fossil generators on the grid as electrical energy and sent to Malta’s energy storage system. The electricity drives a heat pump, which converts electrical energy into thermal energy by creating a temperature difference. The heat is then stored in molten salt, while the cold is stored in a chilled liquid.
Malta's electro-thermal energy storage system is built upon well-established principles in thermodynamics. When charging (taking electricity from the grid) the system converts electricity to heat, in molten salt, and as cold in a chilled liquid. In these forms, this energy can be efficiently stored for long durations.
All materials and components used in Malta’s system are fully recyclable and can be reclaimed after use. Common metals and alloys, like steel and aluminum, make up the bulk of the piping, turbines, and other mechanical equipment used in a Malta energy storage system. We Want To Hear From You!
Malta uses commodity antifreeze to store liquid at below-freezing temperatures. Antifreeze solutions are commonly used as heat transfer fluids, making them some of the best-understood liquids in the energy sector. All materials and components used in Malta’s system are fully recyclable and can be reclaimed after use.
When discharging (injecting electricity into the grid) the system operates as a heat engine, combining the stored heat and cold together to generate electricity. Because a heat engine is driven by a change in temperature (T) the extraction of cold as well as heat makes the Malta system more efficient than other technologies.
