The Labour government is spearheading an energy plan by the Minister of Energy and the Environment Miriam Dalli, which reads more like a political manifesto than a detailed plan with actual economic and material targets. The plan is being pushed forward in a religious and orthodox political manner in line with the European Union’s current plan to replace fossil-fuels with non-renewable energy sources.
Recently, the government announced it will build wind turbines off the coast of Malta.
Germany faced an energy crisis as it shut down its nuclear plants and offset its energy demand with coal. German electricity prices are soaring as Germany conducts its “green transition” (minus nuclear which is also a non-emitter), but the best case to study with regard to electricity prices and wind turbines is Denmark which actually has 53% of its electricity generated by wind turbines.
Clearly, the chart below shows that Denmark’s electricity price actually increased higher as Denmark transitioned from fossil-fuels to wind energy. On the other hand, the Maltese government has no plan or forecasts about the future economic sustainability and efficiency of its energy plans. It’s all slogans and green branding.
