Update 2: Switchgear blast leads to widespread power cuts

What I was told.
The cable and 132/220 kV substation in Malta to provided by Nexans. The cable will have capacity of 225 MW and it will use 220 kV high voltage alternate current, not DC. The interconnector will be operated by Enemalta. The system is expected to be operational by the end of 2013 with an option for the second 200 MW cable by the end of 2015.It will be laid by C/S Nexans Skagerrak.

Albert, installlations at Marsa more than 20 years
1, 1966 10 MW
2, 1966 10 MW
3. 1970 30 MW
4 1970 30MW
5 1982 Palermo 30MW
6 1983 Palermo 30 MW
7 1984 Palermo 30 MW
8 1987 Bradford 60 MW

Prosit to all engineers who kept all this going beyond their lifetime especially the boilers.Prosit again.

Enemalta Engineers, etc looking after the Marsa Power Station should be given gieh ir-Republika for maintaining this power station with a minimum amount of breakdowns. The only issue that politicians and maybe Enemalta should have introduced ages ago is the off peak electrical energy consumption which is cheap and also increases overall efficiency especially when smart meters were to be changed

@ Mr Cilia Vincenti - and that's where the PN's strategy on this matter is bring usl not enough power generation capacity, not enough redunancy on the distribution system and yet with Euro 800M in debts by Enemalta. Where was all that money spent? Answers not comments please.

Labour was in Goverment 25 years ago so where is the progress so much acclaimed by the PN??

@Victor Buhagiar, your information is completely wrong.The power cuts that we have been having is not because our power generation capacity is not sufficient but because of the faults in cables or as in todays case any other type of fault.Don't get me wrong i'm not trying to justify the power cut but this is in no way Enemalta's fault.On the contrary, its more the fault of the private contractors

@stravropoulos from greece. i wonder why you came to malta because your country has driven itself into a wall "gas down".

Edward Mallia

Jan 18th, 19:02

What is the line of reasoning? 1. max demand has ranged up to 430MW in summer; 376MW is winter max. You have cut off CCGT, 2 open cycle GT's at Delimara , 1open cycle GT and 120MW steam turbines at Marsa, leaving notning in reserve. Who decided to have a 225MW cable with the 200MW a-building and why is it risky?
Which "old gas turbine" can one use "with boilers"? Why is a local 200MW PS risky?

Pule' Carmel

Jan 18th, 20:02

You followed me perfectly.A cable is politically sensitive, a powerstation needs expensive accessories and a renting of a ship at $100,000 a day.The Open loop cycle turbine at Marsa to be transferred to Delimara and used witht he Two at Delimara to provide heat for boilers thus the thermodymanics will be better.Thus we have options, Cable to Scicily,New Powerstation and IntellligentRefurbishment

Pule' Carmel

Jan 18th, 20:10

If we consider relocating and reusing 5678 at Marsa through doing away with the Boilers and using new and old gas turbine sets to heat steam regenerators we have a lot of power for the next 20 years. No need for full repowering, Parallel repowering, boosting and topping will be fine.All we need is not moaners/accountants and politicians but good courageous design engineers, with no hindrance

Edward Mallia

Jan 19th, 01:40

Your suggestion seems to be to "create" CCGTs from existing open cycle turbines as a means of improving thermodynamic efficiency. "gas" turbines use expensive gasoil. That ship "hire rate" looks very expensive. Surely the widespread use of LNG transport cannot sustain those sorts of cost. The Cyprus LNG terminal, taking LNG from Egypt at the rate of 1 tanker/5days shows much smaller costs.

Lawrence Zammit

Jan 18th, 18:04

A conspiracy theorist's attempts to project its fiction onto real-life people, groups and organisations. It purports to actually be true that which really is fiction and this is their problem. The problem is that in their paranoid imagination they believe they are right. Again, it does not matter if you show him to be totally wrong because to him you then become part of the conspiracy.

When she was out of fuel she went to the police station and blackmailed them to give her two gallons of paraffin for the stove.How parenthood changes!

First of all I resent your ever-going tone of calling people not of your political colour as "lejber".

And the Enemalta statement mentioned the diesel engines as you rightly quoted. As far as the WORLD at large knows, the extension runs on Heavy Fuel Oil - which probable powers the steam turbines.

K. Bugeja

Jan 18th, 17:19

Is-soltu .... il-hass jithallat mal-gass.... important to update yourself before you speak. J. Muscat was not against the extension but against how things were done. finding a contractor on yellow pages!!! the computer was thrown away never found!!! and the biggest one was heavy fuel oil!! I have really bad asthma and Gonzi is telling me that this H.F. oil is good for me. My vote will decide.

Mr Alistaire Gill

Jan 18th, 17:34

Joey,
The PL was against lowering our environmental standards which were higher than those of the EU to use the Heavy Fuel Oil instead of LNG and not against the extension. Please be informed.
Who knows, perhaps this was done due to pressure from the oil importers, who would have lost millions, we were told this morning in The Times.

Why is sarcasm the lowest form of wit?

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit since its aim is to belittle or hurt someone, and to laugh at their expense; we associate the word "cutting" with it. On the other hand, true wit associates with the word "levity", and boosts everyone's spirits, being aimed at an action, a happening or an attitude.

3 - The switchgear blew up!!! Just be thankful that no one was hurt!

Patrick Jansen

@John Dee. Yes, it is appreciated. But don't you think Paul Hawker's comment is a bit disrespectful towards the Maltese people? He is after all a guest in their country! And I think the UK has enough problems which are far bigger than a powercut here and there! So, I would ask Paul Hawker, what is wrong with you British, murdering each other in the streets, behaving like idiots when on holiday etc

The present government promised that Marsa power plant shall be closed down 20 years ago but is still running and causing these power interruptions till this very day. Time to move on.

I'm sorry to intrude but what you're saying makes no sense... are there no power cuts or faults in your country of origin? I hope you are not serious.

Please read the article properly.

Even the boilers, gas turbine and combined cycle gas turbines at Marsaxlokk stopped working. Only the BWSC plant continued to work uninterrupted.

It could supply more than 55% of what was needed.The reason it didn't is because the fault was in the distribution system which could not deliver all of the electricity generated.
