BWSC have so far been paid €111,930,630.94 for works related to the power station extension.

Finance Minister Tonio Fenech told Parliament the works were on schedule. He could not say when they would be completed, although it was a case of the sooner the better, since the Marsa power plant could be decommissioned earlier.

The payments to the Danish company covered a down payment, the completed basic engineering, completion and shipment of structural steel, purchase of storage containers, upgrading of the site, completion and shipment of catalytic reducers, exhaust gas boilers and eight diesel gensets and major earthwork.

S&A Services Ltd were paid €16,869 for their services as environmental monitors.

The value of the works and equipment which has not yet been paid yet was: BWSC €14,704,461.08 and S&A Services €44,781.
