-- 歐洲投資銀行(EIB)週四在一份聲明中表示,已同意為馬耳他與義大利之間的第二條電力互聯線路提供1億歐元(約1.17億美元)的融資。該計畫旨在加強馬耳他的能源安全,並加速其向再生能源轉型。 這條名為IC2的新海底電纜將連接馬耳他和西西里島,全長122公里,將位於馬格塔布的Enemalta終端站與位於拉古薩的Terna變電站連接起來。此互聯線路採用交流電連接,工作電壓為220千伏,頻率為50赫茲,輸電容量為225兆瓦。 官員表示,該計畫將顯著擴大馬耳他和義大利之間的電力互聯容量,使馬耳他能夠更好地進入歐洲電力市場,提高電網穩定性,並支持再生能源的併網。 該互聯線路計劃於2027年第一季投入運營,是馬耳他能源戰略的核心組成部分,尤其有助於其實現歐盟2030年氣候和能源目標。 項目總成本預計為2.9668億歐元。資金來源包括歐洲區域發展基金提供的1.6578億歐元,以及歐洲投資銀行的貸款和馬耳他政府的出資。 該計畫也獲得了JASPERS的諮詢支援。 JASPERS是由歐洲投資銀行和歐盟委員會共同發起的一項倡議,旨在協助專案準備、設計以及符合歐盟相關要求。 基礎設施的所有權將歸馬耳他政府所有。馬耳他互聯公司(Interconnect Malta)是一家國有企業,將負責連網的採購、建造和營運。根據與馬耳他電力分銷運營商Enemalta簽訂的容量協議和年度使用費協議,互聯線路的全部容量將提供給Enemalta使用。
