The 159km Malta-Sicily undersea gas pipeline gets green light on permit
A 159-kilometre pipeline to transport natural gas and eventually hydrogen between Malta and Gela in Sicily has been given the green light by the Planning Authority.
The planning permit foresees a measure of land reclamation to build a terminal station at the Delimara power station, a micro-tunnel route running through the Delimara peninsula and the laying of an offshore pipeline between Delimara and Gela.
It was unanimously approved by the PA board and is considered to be in line with Malta’s 2030 national energy objectives and climate plan. This will also be contributing towards the EU’s climate and energy goals.
