Enemalta is expecting to attract around €100 million in investment for a project to redevelop the old Marsa power station site, the Energy Ministry said today. 

In a statement announcing that Enemalta workers would all be receiving a one-off €200 bonus by way of thanks for their work this year, Energy Minister Joe Mizzi said the company was in a position to attract around €100 million in investment for the power station site. 

He singled out the company's divisional manager for strategy and commercial - Jason Vella, according the company's website - for praise in making this possible. 

The ministry statement made no mention of where the investment would be coming from, what it would consist of or what sort of plans the government had in mind for the site.  

Last August, Mr Mizzi was quoted as saying that the government was still weighing its options for the site, saying only that the eventual redevelopment would include open areas for Marsa residents.

The Marsa power station was shut down earlier this year and is in the process of being demolished. The government has not said what it intends to do with the site, despite pleas from the Kamra Tal-Periti to stop demolition works and explore student ideas for redevelopment of the site. 

Shareholders agreed to grant workers the one-off bonus in a company annual general meeting held early in August, the government statement said.
