Enemalta is the only DSO for Malta, responsible for the distribution and management of electricity across Malta and Gozo. It operates, maintains, and develops the national electricity grid, ensures reliable power supply, supports renewable energy integration, and provides technical solutions for new connections and network reinforcement. The capacity map for the Maltese Archipelago serves as a vital informational resource, published in accordance with national and European regulations. Its primary objective is to provide stakeholders—including prospective consumers, renewable energy developers, and policymakers—with transparent, up-to-date estimates of available capacity within the low voltage distribution network at each locality. By visualising spare transformer capacity (in kVA) and available RES capacity (in kWp) at the substation level, the map enables users to identify areas where new load or RES connections may be feasible under current network conditions. 

The figures presented are calculated by considering the existing transformer ratings, maximum historical demand, installed RES capacity, and grid voltage stability criteria. However, it is essential to note that these figures are indicative and do not constitute a binding commitment by Enemalta. Any connection request is subject to a formal evaluation process, which may include a detailed grid study as stipulated by the Electricity Connection and Supply Regulations. The map does not account for ongoing grid reinforcement works, nor does it reflect potential constraints elsewhere in the network that could impact connection feasibility. Updated quarterly, the map is intended to guide decision-making while emphasising that actual connection capacity may vary and, in some cases, require network reinforcement. Users are therefore encouraged to treat the map as an initial reference point and to engage with Enemalta for detailed assessments and connection procedures.
