What is Malta's energy storage system?

Q: Malta’s solution lies in thermo-electric energy storage. Why is this system so innovative, and what are its main keys? A: It combines well-established thermodynamic principles with modern technological advancements to create a cost-effective, scalable, and efficient energy storage solution.

Is Malta a ready-to-market energy storage solution?

Today Malta is in advanced discussions with a more than a dozen utilities in Europe, and the Americas over plans to deploy Malta’s long duration energy storage technology. As the urgency of the energy transition grows, interest in Malta’s ready-to-market, thermo-electric energy storage solution has skyrocketed.

How efficient is Malta's thermal storage system?

Malta’s system also achieves a power-to-power charge/discharge round-trip efficiency (RTE) of up to 60%, which is about 50% higher than other thermal storage systems without heat pump charging.

How long can a Malta storage unit be charged and discharged?

A: A Malta storage unit can be charged and discharged 100% in unlimited cycles without degradation of the storage media. As the main storage medium, Malta has selected a natural thermo-solar salt sourced by solar evaporation (e.g., in the Atacama Desert of Chile).
