1. Background

Malta’s Draft National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) has been developed in line with the obligations of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action. The Governance Regulation sets out the legislative foundation for a governance system of the Energy Union and Climate Action, which aims to ensure the achievement of the Union’s 2030 and long-term objectives and targets of the Energy Union in line with the Union’s international commitments under the Paris Agreement

Malta’s Draft NECP follows the scope of the Energy Union and covers its five dimensions: energy security, internal energy market, energy efficiency, decarbonization, and research, innovation and competitiveness. The Draft Plan sets out Malta’s national objectives and contributions for 2030 in the respective dimensions and contains a description of the foreseen policies and measures that need to be implemented in order to reach the set-out objectives. This is supplemented by an analytical basis consisting of a description of the current situation in Malta in the five dimensions as well as projections until 2040. The NECP will serve as a strategic planning, framework and policy document that will guide Malta’s contribution to achieving the Union’s 2030 objectives and targets, primarily in the areas of GHG emissions reductions, renewable energy, energy efficiency and electricity interconnectivity.

Malta will be submitting its Final National Energy and Climate Plan to the European Commission by the end of December 2019, in line with the requirements of the Governance Regulation.

The Energy and Water Agency, within the Ministry for Energy and Water Management, is inviting the general public to submit their written comments to the draft NECP. Submissions must be received by the 10th April 2019.
