In 2024, Malta’s electricity supply was dominated by domestic power plants (58.1%) and significant imports via the Sicily-Malta interconnector (31.1%), with renewable sources contributing 10.8%. While natural gas remains the primary fuel for local generation, the country is rapidly increasing its renewable energy share, which reached 17.2% of gross final energy consumption in 2024.

Malta is actively developing a green hydrogen strategy to decarbonize its economy by 2050, focusing on offshore production and importing via a “hydrogen-ready” pipeline from Italy. Key initiatives include the HydroGenEration project for offshore wind-to-hydrogen research and the Melita TransGas pipeline project.

The country aims to transition from total reliance on oil imports to a more diverse, renewable-focused, and hydrogen-enabled energy landscape.

As of 2026 there is no information indicating that Malta is producing green hydrogen by electrolysis of seawater.
