spic website: sepm wins bid for gozo 'zero carbon island' energy storage demonstration project
on july 29, 2021, international renewable energy development ltd (iredl), a subsidiary of sep (malta) holding ltd. (sepm), won the bid for the 1mw/2mwh energy storage demonstration project on gozo island with enemalta plc (emc) as the project owner in the competition of malta's open tender for public services. on the same day, the two parties signed an award agreement, in accordance with which the company will build malta's first energy storage project at xewkija substation center on gozo island, malta, which is scheduled to be put into operation by the end of this year.
