Enemalta has issued a call for expressions of interest in the commercial operation of a fibre optic cable that forms part of the Malta-Sicily electricity interconnector.

The submarine cable has two fibre optic clusters. Enemalta will use part of this capacity to transmit data used for monitoring the interconnector.

The remaining fibres will be available to interested parties for commercial operation in partnership with Enemalta.

“This is a unique opportunity for local businesses to extend their existing operations or for other international companies to launch new ventures based in the Maltese islands,” said Enemalta CEO Frederick Azzopardi, inviting “creative and flexible solutions”.

Proposals have to be submitted to Enemalta by February 27 at midday. www.enemalta.com.mt/powerfibrelink.
